I'm 32 years old, night shift nurse, I take anti depressants and drink too much. I weigh 265 and it's all in my fat gut due to food and stress.
I have to make a change. I can do the diet solo, but what bodyweight exercises are good for your core (and everything else). I don't have enough time to hit the gym (nightshift full time 5 days a week, supporting 3 year old son and stay at home mom, in school full time for masters in nursing).
I'm tired of being the noodle armed gut guy at work. I've tried the diet thing alone but it doesn't help my bloated gut.
I did about 4 months of SS back when I was in school, and got major gains in squats and deadlifts, but my upper body has always been pathetic.
I'm going to try and Google a diet plan and bodyweight regime now, but thought I'd ask here because you guys know better than Google, worth a shot guess?
Thanks in advance for the help!
I forgot to mention I'm 6ft 3in so the belly fat makes me look even more ridiculous.
if time is that much of an issue (protip:it isn't, you're just wasting time somwhere), buy a treadmill or those bicycle like thing and set up at your home, and do HIIT. additionally buy some weight adjustable dumbbells, a bench and do curls,db bench, shoulder press and what have you. you can do all this at home.since you're a nurse i assume you got some money to buy equipment.
if you wanna hit the gym just do GSLP with some accessories to fix your weakpoints.

Really, dude? And you say you're taking your M.ScN? This is like smoking when you've got emphysema.
What are your shifts like? Are you on a 12 or 8 hour line? I work as a nurse too, and I have to say a 12 hour line is a lot better (for me) to fit in the gym and activities, since I've got more days off of work.

I get that child rearing is important, but you can't expect to be mentally and physically well if you're balancing school and work full time, while wifey stays at home.
You need to do something, anything involving exercise. It most likely won't make you lose your gut immediately, as you won't have the time or energy. Start small, buy a bike and cycle everywhere.
For upper body do pushups, buy dumbbells and do whatever exercises you can. Just do something. When you fix your schedule and your life becomes more balanced you can worry about an actual routine.
