My Dilemma

So I'm doing really well with my calories and eating really well, I've seen an 8lb drop so far, but I dont really have an excersize routine and here's why....I drive a truck so I cant go to the gym. Our operating centers have gyms but they are only in the major cities and sometimes I cant always get to one or stop because of time constraints. Could someone point me to a basic excersize routine that would be simple to do without freeweights with emphasis on abs. I have a pretty good physique, I just want to tone everything up, especially my abs. Thanks you guys!

how about sit up and crunches each evening or each morning, also investing ins some kettlebells they give an amazing workout...0

You could try doing what I call 30-30-30-30
30 jumping jacks
30 pushups
30 curl ups
30 leg lifts (lay on your back, lift your legs to above your hips and then lower until you almost touch the floor- if you push off of the floor it reduces the work your abs do)
It only takes 5-7 minutes, and you can always start with fewer and work your way to more reps as you get stronger
You could do this once a day and then work up to twice if you wanted
It is a nice routine because it
1) gets your heart rate up a little
2) works your arms
3) works your abs
4) you dont need weights or even a lot of space!0 -
Don't forget to add planks...great for your core0

Thanks for the input you guys. This is what I had in mind also and I was just looking through some of the challenges on here and I saw the 100 pushup challenge and I downloaded the app for it. Ima start that tonight along with some crunches, and try to jog some. Ill have to see if I can get some kettle bells also.0
