    Maybe that was the towel he was talking about?

    Sure you can - you have no equipment (although he does have a towel at times) and little space so how do you get fitter and stronger?

    Off the top of my head:

    Pressup variations, starting pushing the wall aiming towards single armed pressups.
    Isometics
    Burpees (building up to sets of 100)
    Squats - building towards pistols
    Pullups (using the towel and the bars in the window) - building towards single armed
    Leg levers
    Handstand pressups
    etc.

    Apparently it is a good read because he is simply nuts but any fitness advice he gives is just fairly obvious stuff if you are stuck in a cell and have little equipment.

    Is "free towels" a code-word like "an extra pillow" at a hotel?

    There's a chain in cloggers called "fit for free", bit of a misnomer since you still have to pay

    Buy never gymless, it is far better.
