Hip flexors are commonly known as the love-handles on overweight people. The bits right on the side of the hips i do believe.

GC - if u can manage to do weights as well that would be perfect, but somple non-equipment reps were what i started myself on, and all u need to do is boost the amount of reps as u get stronger. Everything should be good.

chinups and push ups are usually paired together in upperbody workouts to keep the muscles balanced. Like the reciprocal action of pulling the nonpunching hand back. Strengthening the push muscles without working the pull muscles can lead to problems down the road. Also certain hand positions used in doing chinups can strengthen the trapezius muscles the neck depends on. Many martial artists have weak necks.
