Alright, for the first time in my life, I'm looking to workout, but can't afford a gym. So I'm going to be doing the logical thing and doing the good ole push ups, sit ups and dips at my house.

Basically, what I'm looking to see is how often I should be doing them. I've heard work to failure (more or less), then rest a day. I've heard every day, do as many as you can, then do one more the next day.

Also, should I worry about wide arm pushups one day, diamond the next, those military clapping ones the next, etc. Or should I just do each of them the same day? Same deal with the ab exercises.
