www.simplefit.org if you have a chin up bar (about €20 from Argos)

Here's a link of no equipment required workouts from Olymp-ian Eva T

The link in my signature has some equipment you could make, you might already have some stuff lying around. You can do dips on chairs. I have done pullups using a towel looped through the railings on a stairs. There are also places to do dips and pullups around my area, you just have to be on the look for them. Cabinteely park has proper chinup, dip stations, and pushup stations, monkey bars too.

You could make gymnastic rings for under €20 and get a great upper body workout with them.

Here is a post I made about making rings http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=54961391&postcount=27

Here is a youtube video of a guy making (a balls of!) some rings. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0V8C-fOP5c4

he gives some tips on where he went wrong. I would have bent it a tiny bit at a time and reheated each time, and tapped each time. There is also no need to really make a full ring, some do not even bend them at all.

Just a word on making the rings: Apparently the quality of PVC piping we get in Ireland is completely at odds with the yank stuff, i.e. the irish&british pvc iss much weaker. I'm not sure if this would be a problem for rings (as long as you're running rope through the pipe) but I've heard of some breakages in homemade parallettes using the same material, so be careful!

It depends on a huge amount of things, I could type several pages about it, have studied it all in uni. There is good and crap stuff on sale everywhere. The guy in the video has severely weakened his rings, any kink is going to be a place that will break of fold much easier. It should be at a proper pliable temp, otherwise you could get kinks and stretched weakend walls when it bends. Too hot and it is easy to stretch and weaken a wall. He should have heated several times. I have a high spec heat gun where I can set it to exact temps of softening points of PVC. A failure on the rings would probably not be too disastrous though.

Like I said, there is no need for them to be rings, they guys just want to copy them for some reason, there is really no need, a banana shape would do, or just straight. PVC could be cut into a 6" length and stuck in boiling water, and then slowly bent.

A few guys are making and selling them on ebay, even thought of doing it myself, there is a lack of EU suppliers for rings.
