Pushups, crunches, squats. It'll take 5 mins/day, (or 15 mins every third day if that works better for your schedule). Day 1: pushups, day 2: crunches, day 3: squats, day 4: repeat.
If sticking with it every day is a problem, do all exercises every third day.
This can be done with all exercise, but using pushups as the example. Day 0: start by doing as many pushups as you can without having to rest. Divide by 4. Round down if not a whole number. Do 4 sets of that number starting every minute. When you can do all the reps in all 4 sets, add one rep to each set.
Example. Let's say you did 26 pushups on Day 0. Now we divide by 4 which gives us 6.5. Round down to 6. Then start a stopwatch on your phone. At the 1min mark, do a set of 6. Do it again and the 2 min mark, 3 min mark, and 4 min mark. If you're able to do all 4 sets, add a rep to each set the next time you do pushups. In this case you'll be doing 4 sets of 7 next and continue trying to do 7 until you can, and then move up to 8.
For pushups, you can buy "Perfect Pushups" that will help target the biceps more and save the wrists, but completely optional. Also, if you struggle with regular pushups, perfectly acceptable to do them from your knees for the first couple months.
For crunches, I highly recommend doing cross-body crunches alternating sides, left elbow to outside of right knee, right elbow to left knee (counts as 1), and repeat. These are a better workout and less strain on the back.
Stick with this for 6 months, you'll absolutely see the difference if you take some before and after pics.
