I do bodyweight exercises, using the book 'The Supple Leopard' as guide on how to do pull ups/chin ups/push ups/dips/rows/squats/hanging leg raises properly. I had to buy a tall bar to do this, which is difficult as almost every freestanding bar sold is too short to lock out your legs during pull ups if you're over 6'.
Generally I get up very early and do 35 mins on a stationary bike with intervals of sprinting. I don't do this for fitness reasons as getting your heart rate up for 30+ mins in the morning, at least for me, leads to better concentration when I'm working as in better focus to do hard mental tasks. After the bike I do all the above bodyweight exercises, usually 3 sets of as many reps as I can, holding as long as possible on the failure rep. Saturday I mix it up by going to a gym and doing weight training. Sunday I don't do anything except recently I'll do hikes and swimming because it's the summer. I used to go to the gym every morning but replaced it with bodyweight exercises because of time reasons. They're much harder to do as well, took me weeks to be able to do proper pull ups and hanging leg raises.
You can do this by buying dip bars for dips and rows, and building or buying any tall freestanding bar for everything else. If I lived near a public pool opened early in the morning I would swim instead of using the bike.
