I'm trying to get fit on a budget, so I'm going to use calisthenics, my Iron Gym Extreme, and some cheap adjustable dumbbells since I can't afford a gym membership or big expensive weights. I'm also kind of a newbie to fitness. My primary goal is to get a bigger upper body and improve overall strength and endurance. Is this a good exercise routine I've put together? Are there any adjustments to be made?
