I'm thinking 60 burpies, 30 pushups, 1-2 minutes of hyper dumbbell squats 3 times a week (it is really really difficult just to do 1min, I'm not even sure I can do a continuous minute yet since I haven't done them in a while, but I'll work on it). 3 days of bench and other dumbbell upper-body/back/neck/tricep exercises. I don't plan on getting a gym membership, so I'll use workouts that I can do at home with the equipment I have, or with other equipment I can easily buy (maybe I could buy a skipping rope for instance).

I also take a class at my local rec center that has a really good routine:
I need to get in the habit of doing this routine more like three or four times a week rather than just two (and I also need to bump up the intensity, except that I'm battling some injuries), but I'm also running three-four times a week so...
