    Depending how far you want to take it http://www.beastskills.com/ has some good bodyweight exercises, even if you don't see yourself doing any of them anytime soon it might give you something to aim for.

    some of us love to train everyday, I can show you the workout schedules we use:

    one is 45 sets of 10 pull ups, 15 dips and 20 push ups every day or every other day.
    the other is more comlicated and is spread throughout the week.

    Monday 1000 pushups, 500 squats, 1000 toe raises and 200 pullups and stretching
    Tuesday 1000 pushups, 500 dips, situps and stretching
    Wednesday 1000 pushups, 200 pullups, situps, squats and stretching
    Thursday 1000 pushups, 300 pullups, situps, dips and stretching
    Friday 1000 pushups, 400 pullups, situps, dips and stretching
    Saturday all day stretching

    as you can see, our workouts involve a lot of bw exercise with very high numbers. to improve, I'd suggest to set a goal like 300-500 pushups and do more sets like 100 x 3-5 and then improve over the time to the goal of 20 x 50.
