100 pushups a day should help a little. Doesn't hit the right muscles but some overlap.
If you have a resistance band there are a few exercises that hit similar muscles.
If your doorways have casework, you could try pullups on the that if you have (or want) rock-climber fingers. Careful, as I have torn casework off a doorway trying this.

Maybe I’ll install a pull-up bar in my utility room, then again, maybe not.

Getting ready for my inaugural 2020 ride with my overweight and ancient trike buddies.

I started year with a little 18-miler. Chest is a little congested and I'm a little fatigued. I'm thinking/hoping that it's not going to get any worse for the road trip home.

I have a chocolate tolerance problem. I was allergic pre-puberty but can handle it now unless I eat too much... like around the holidays. A half dozen chocolate squares gives me chest buzzing followed by an upset stomach. As a child, I got hives that looked like ringworm and vomited from a single Hershey bar.
So, my wife is putting away Christmas decorations this morning and finds a sack of Ghiradelli chocolate squares. I ate 5 and now feel anxious and sick. It will pass in a couple hours. I told my wife to either hide the rest or throw them away.
