Pushups and situps. These are the primary excercises used in the Army. There are lots of variations.

Pushup: Works your Chest and Triceps. The wider your arms, the more chest you work, the narrower, the more triceps you work.

Situps: If you have something hold your feet down you will use your abdominal and hip flexor muscles. Having nothing to hold your feet down works abdominals mostly.

You also want to work your core, this core includes the abdominals, but also the muslces that attach to the hip, pelvis and lower back. Look up some excercises on google for the core.

Squats & Lunges: Body weight squats are a simple and effective quadracep workout.
