Full Body Workouts

Can anyone share full body workouts? I'm looking to change up what I do drastically. I'm going more for endurance 3 days a week (run/swim/bike), and then I'd like a full body workout I can do 2 or 3 days a week. Things like Burpees, and whatever else. I dunno. Links, anything? Just need help with ideas for a solid full body workout, 45 mins or so. I can't do dead lifts or squats with weights. I don't have a gym, no bench or barbells. but I do have dumbbells up to 55 lbs and bands, and a Bunch of other home gym stuff...plyo box, stability ball, 4 medicine balls, push up bars, pull up bar, lots bands, and dumb bells.

    I do Zwow workout or bodyrock workout. They are both full body workout home workouts and most of them are under 20 mins so you could do two if you want. Search Zwow on Youtube and www.bodyrock.tv.

    Here, just now recovered from a bookmark folder containing too much information for me to parse & apply to my own situation, are some of Bret Contreras' ideas for safer alternatives:

    What are your limitations, re DLs & squats & weights? Not that I know how to answer, particularly.

    Also, exrx's templates:

    From what you said you can't do some of these, but this is most of what I do, not everything I do, but pick what you want out of it:

    The routine I do consists of weight lifting first and cardio second, but I still do cardio (mainly running). I change up everything all the time. My running is sometimes long easy runs, sometimes HIIT, sometimes shorter medium pace runs. My weight routine changes each day, each week, Circuits, Intermittent Super Sets, Fibonacci Pyramids, X-sets, Progress Venus Pyramids, and some splits, constantly changing it up, everything a variety of Strength, Hypertrophy, and Endurance.

    Legs; In addition to Deadlift's, Stiff Leg Dead Lifts, Sumo Dead Lifts and Squats I do Bulgarian Split Squats, Lunges, Reverse lunges, Curtsey lunges, Step Ups, Crossover Bench Step Ups, One legged Deadlifts (T-Bend), Lunge Matrix, Bowler Squat, One Legged Get Ups, Bower Squat and Calf Raise, Bowler Squat + Stiff Leg Deadlift, Curtsey Lunge + Dumbbell Squat, T-Bend + Y-Squat, Reverse Lunge & Step Up, Curtsey Lunge + Step Up, Y-squat, Narrow Stance Squat

    For upper body I do Standing Shoulder Press, Standing Dumbell Curls, Lying Tricep extension, Pullovers, Bent Barbell Row, Standing lateral Raise, Standing front Raise, Curl and Press, Shoulder Press + Curl, Dips, Lying Tricep Extensions + Flyes, Venus Raise (a type of snatch), Bent Row + Standing Lateral Raise, Pullovers, Pushup + Dips, Standing Dumbbell curls + Overhead Tricep Extension, Bent Lateral Raise + Pullovers, One Arm Dumbbell row, Flyes + Pushups, Seated Curl & Tate Press, Seated Curls + Overhead Tricep Extension, Pushups, Pullovers + Dips, Bent Barbell Row, Lateral Raise + Full Front Raise, Venus Raise + Dips, Standing Dumbbell curls + Lying Tricep Extension, Upright Row + Dips, Bent Barbell Row, Flat bench Press, Incline Bench Press, Bent Row Narrow, Bent Row + Kickback,

    Then some upper and lower combos; Squat and Front Raise, Step Up & Press, Step Up + Standing Shoulder Press, Squat & Press, Squat & Swing, Curtsy Lunge + Standing Shoulder Pres, T-Bend & Row, Pike Front Rais + Curtsey Lunge, Flat Bench Press + Step Up.

    Core: Bar Bell Rollouts (you can start out with Stability Ball Roll Outs), Swiss Ball Pikes (you can start out with Stability Ball Curl Ups), and planks. As you advance Swiss Ball Pike and pushup.

    Thanks for the quick replies. I'll check out those links.

    There are no limitation on dead lifts or squats, I just don't have the equipment for that.

    Ah ok, in that case, you could easily do the single leg alternatives, using your DBs, on Contreras' page. I'm sure you're aware of other ways of increasing difficulty with limited weights. (But if not, see last paras here: http://articles.elitefts.com/training-articles/your-body-is-a-barbell-no-dumbbells-no-barbells-no-problem/ )
