Here are some home-based bodyweight training routines to try that contributes to a great workout with great results:

Supine Pull-Ups (for back, shoulders and biceps muscle workout)

Prepare two stable chairs and a pole that would be able to handle your weight such as those used for heavy brooms. Lie on your back below the low bar and grab the bar with a wide overhand grip. Pull up and back to the original position. Make 6 to 8 repetitions.

Supine Biceps Pull-Ups (for the biceps and some back muscles)

Using the same set-up as prepared above sit beneath the low bar. Using a reverse grip, grab the bar with the palms facing the body. Keep the hands at shoulder-width distance and keep the body upright. Pull the body up until the chin clears the bar. Go back to he original position and repeat for 6 to 8 times.

Push-Ups (for the chest, triceps and shoulders muscles)

You can change the direction of the target workout with push-ups through switching the directions of the elbows. Similar with the bench presses, the elbows should be away from the body and towards the chest, keeping it close to the body and targeting the triceps. Place the hands outside the shoulders and a little bit behind the line of the shoulders. Keep the hands pointing straight ahead and the upper body stiff. Make 6 to 15 repetitions.

Tent Push-Ups (primarily upper chest)

Use the same position mentioned in the push-ups but the feet are moved forward and the body is bended along the waist and the hips are up high in the air. Bend the elbows slowly and lower the body until the nose is almost touching the floor. Repeat for about 6 to 8 times.

Push-Ups, Triceps Position (triceps and chest muscles)

The fingers should be facing forward similar to the position mentioned in the push-ups. Keep the hands less than shoulder-width distance and start lowering the body to the floor. The arms should be against the body and repeat for about 6 to 8 times.

These routines are cheap and very promising for a great home body workout.
