This is what I do when I want to do some exercise but only have 15 minutes.
5 minute walk or run to warm up
Then I do the following routine. Do between 10-20 of each. Or go until you can't do anymore and then switch.
1. Normal sit ups (Note for George: Try to keep your neck straight! :)
2. Normal push ups
3. Sit ups with knees to the left (leaning to the ground as far as you can)
4. Push ups with your arms wide.
5. Sit ups with your knees to the right
6.Push ups with your hands together in the middle (might have to do this on your knees, very hard - it's for triceps)
7. Backward sit ups - you lift your knees to your chest and get your bum off the ground. Leave head down.
8. Push ups low - just do the bottom half - do more of these as they are little.
9. Double sit ups - lift legs up so your lower leg is parallel to the ground and feet in the air. Do sit ups and bring your knees back slightly with every sit up. 'Double crunchers' - as Phil Matthews, my old coach, used to say.
10. Push ups high - just the top half. But don't lock your elbows (you should never do this with push ups).
11. Sit up pulses - do a normal sit up but when you get to the top give 3 extra pushes or pulses.
12. Slow push ups - do painfully (really) slow push ups. Normally only 5, but do them so slowly. It should take you about 10 seconds to go up and 10 seconds to go down.
And that's it. Yep, that's how I keep my body in the wobbly shape it is in....
