What muscles would this exercise routine work/ what muscles would it not work?

What muscles would a simple exercise routine of doing push-ups, sit-ups, and running work / strengthen? Also, what muscles would it lack?

Push ups are for your chest,
sit ups for abs
running doesn’t train your muscle, just your endurance…

No work for back, legs, those are biggest muscles in your body so definitely must add something to train them. Hit the gym. Nothing is better than working out in the gym with squats, deadlifts, bench presses etc. Here are best exercises:

    pushups work on your triceps and biceps, as well as pectoral muscles, sit-ups work abdominal muscles, and running works your calf muscles, quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes.

    Pushups work out mostly your chest
    Situps work out your abs
    Running works out your hamstrings mostly, but I think it helps all your leg muscles somewhat.

    The major muscles you’re missing are your biceps, back, and shoulders. Pushups might help your triceps a little, but not too much.

    Pushups… chest, front delts, triceps, traps. will NOT work biceps

    situps.. jurys out. some say abs, I SAY perfect way to destroy back!
    forget sit ups, for abs, do DEADLIFTS…& some crunches

    Running definately Hamstrings, calves, gluts, and quads… but this should be cardio, not for muscle work.
