No Equipment Bodyweight Exercises

I'd like suggestions for a beginner routine for bodyweight exercise that genuinely requires nothing but bodyweight.

The bodyweight exercise programmes I've seen thus far all seem to require tables, chairs, bars and ropes. Though I do have enough floor space, my home isn't conveniently organised to incorporate furniture in an exercise routine. I don't even own a coffee table for example. And I don't trust the doors in my aged house!

Ideas welcome!

    Push ups, squats, wall-sits, burpees, planks, etc. All of these are great bodyweight exercises, also you can Google "body weight exercises" and find a whole range of moves that don't require equipment.

    Nerd Fitness. It has very little if any, equipment. http://www.nerdfitness.com/workouts/

    Yoga is also great. You'd be looking at the balance poses, and eventually the advanced versions of many common poses. Start with the smaller versions first, obviously :)

    Someone gave me a great website with a lot of free work out videos. Try looking it up. You might find something you like. www.fitnessblender.com

    Yoga sounds like a good idea, especially as I'm only starting to work on getting fit again. I know from doing power yoga in the past that it can be quite effective for building core strength, which is something I particularly need while losing weight around my belly!

    I love the Blogilates videos. She does cardio, strength, and stretching videos and usually without weights or any equipment. She has a ton of videos and even workout calendars, clean eating ideas and recipes, and her site is super organized.
