Pushups are literally the only exercise you need to do.

Stabilizing your body in the pushup position works out the essential compound muscles such as your back, legs, and knees.

The pushing motion incorporates the biceps, triceps, chest, and calves.

The heavier you weigh, the more challenging, essentially the same as bench pressing your own body weight.

Adding repetitions brings about the cardio aspect.

100 pushups is the equivalent of running 12 miles and you don't have to worry about "Runner's Diarrhea".
