Body weight swuats, two legs or one using support. Modified chins with part of your weight on a chair and using a door bar. The important thing is not to over-train. Try three weeks, 2 or 3 workouts with 3 exercises doing sets of 10, initiating each set on the minute, stopping when you can't complete the set. This is tough so you have to take the 4th week completely off before starting another cycle or you will quickly overtrain.
I hit upon this while measuring improvement in dips between chairs. I would start with around 4 sets and in 3 weeks complete 7 sets, but in the fourth or fifth week start dropping back to fewer sets. Spot removal of fat is a myth, you have to make muscle to reduce fat.
