I played world of warcraft for around a year and a half and due to my lack of moderation ended up cutting exercise out of my life to make more game time. So with the big three O looming in August I decided to get back into the shape I used to be in. I still don't have much time however. So...
Wake up and do pushups and pullups to failure (hit up amazon for a pullup bar that doesn't actually bolt to your door I use this one and found it superior to the other ones they offered (tried them all) Squeeze in a quick bike ride uphill and shadow box.
On the weekend I also use an old tire and a sledge hammer and run with a weighted sled in the grass (bad ankles from a misspent youth skateboarding concrete kills me).
If you want fitness that really will truly increase your abilities, and get you ripped in the process ( a nice side effect ) you should check out Ross Enamait.
There is so much more I could write about this subject and how much happier I am now that working out is a part of my life. I can't stress enough if you are in a sedentry job you need this kind of thing. As first a sys admin, and then a programmer/mmo geek I am living proof.
Usually you can find something in the playgrounds to do pullups.
I recommend anyone who's considering a door pullup bar to get this one: http://www.amazon.com/Creative-Fitness-DG-Door-Gym/dp/B00029A7C0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1318105550&sr=8-1
The construction is high quality and I've actually bought two of them.
I feel like I should be paying you at this point :). Hopefully someone else on reddit will also benefit from this thread. I completely forgot that I had one of those door gym bars in the closet:

Not sure if there are any creative ways to incorporate this into the routine. I was just thinking about tagging on a 5-5x for chin-ups and pull-ups onto my Saturday.
There are generally two types of pullup bars: Ones that require fasteners to bolt into your door and ones that don't. This is the one I would recommend, it can be used for other exercises as well. All you do is lift up and it detaches. I rent so I can't exactly be putting holes in the wall. I live in New York, if it was winter I'd seriously consider running, yep, I run during the winter and not the summer.
I'm also doing medicine possibly as a PA.
Sounds like one would work on your super wide doors. I had the same issue at my old apartment and this is what I got - solved all my problems.
I got the creative fitness pull up bar: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00029A7C0/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B0002ZDINO&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0VF8MVQ3KJNA63M83FQY
And then I got the extensions: http://www.amazon.com/Creative-Fitness-Door-Extension-Bars/dp/B0002ZDINO
If you have a door that is wider than what that can provide you, then it must be a garage door
