So a family member offered to let me live in their tool shed, so I have a much larger space than what my camper van has afforded me for recreational pursuits now.

The big thing I'm interested in right off the bat is figuring out how to take my exercise game to the next level. I've never been super /fit/, but I've been going to the park to do calisthenics from time to time to try and keep up some level of activity beyond my job, which involves a lot of cardio.

With a small room now at my disposal, I'm interested in a good, serious exercise routine to start following for strength and physique. Make it my hyperbolic time chamber. Preferably looking for something still made up of body weight exercise and perhaps small weights. I don't expect to get turbo ripped or anything, but I want to lean out/tone up my physique and become very strong in terms of what is practical for real life application.

What would you recommend? I've been thinking of trying out a kettlebell routine like Simple & Sinister.

72 hours is generally considered the break point where your body switches from "let's ramp up everything in an attempt to find food" to "ok there's no food, better conserve as much energy as possible to survive". Under 24 hours doesn't have a significant effect unless you're also strictly limiting your overall caloric intake when you do eventually eat. (E.g. - a 2k calorie intake per day with a 2.3k cal basal rate tied to 16hr daily fasts makes for a 300 cal daily deficit).

Binge eating after a short fast is a surefire way to shoot yourself in the foot. So make your fast long enough that your next meal couldn't possibly counter it, but more importantly discipline yourself to keep your breakfast reasonably proportionate to your regular meals. If your basal rate is 2500 cal a day and you fast all day only to gorge on 3500 calories when you get home, you're gonna get fat.
