Compound exercises

So I usually do an hour or so of a walk/run program on the treadmill or outside 4 or 5 days a week and then working with my PT 2 days a week. I have seen really good results so far, but I was thinking of kicking it up a notch in the last month before school starts up again.

What are some really good compound exercises that I could do for a 'quick and dirty' work out when I am crunched for time?

    I've heard many people mention "You are Your Own Gym" - lots of effective body weight exercises - there is both an app and a book.

    If im strapped for time a quick workout for me is deadlift, squats and the benchpress quick full body workout, try to only have 1min to 1.5 min rest.
