I am in a very similar situation. I have started doing a fast walk in the morning. I am looking into the no equipment, no gym style workouts that take 20 minutes.

I'd be interested to hear what you've found. I've bounced around to various things of varying quality. Youtube's got tons of stuff, but no coherent program. I did the Scientific 7-Minute Workout [0], which was surprisingly good for a lunch hour (when factoring in transit, cleanup and actually needing to eat, 7 minutes isn't too far off), but obviously one would hit a ceiling pretty quick. I've also found Never Gymless [1] to be good, but that was at a different time in my life (one where I was ten years younger).

  That NYT article doesn't talk about it, but the 7-minute workout can be repeated 2-3 times once you start hitting the ceiling with one pass.

  I picked up two books off of Amazon. One book touts no gym, but requires a set of step planks and a pull up bar for some of the exercises listed. The other book lists 100 exercises with no equipment. I am starting out slow trying to put together a coherent workout from these two.

I recently picked up You Are Your Own Gym, by Mark Lauren, which seems to be good for that.

I was in the same situation and started looking for videos on youtube and then finally curated a bunch of good ones and put it up here: https://www.flexit.co/ https://www.flexit.co/

In the past when I've traveling, didn't have access to any equipment or didn't feel like running I've used the Sworkit app. It's free and allows you to pick time, type of workout etc. I've found it's better (at least for me) than trying to come up with an on-the-fly workout of my own.
