If you can buy yourself a chinning bar most exercise equipment stores should sell these. In the Uk you can get them through argos. They are quite cheap (not more than £10.00). Fasten them between a suitable door frame (one thats strong) and chin away. They work your whole upper body and I think take the same amount of effort as doing squats. Do them slowly and vary you hand positions for best results. Just chek that it's ok to use the door frames first. To add to what Faisca says for exercise 5.
