Bodyweight circuit, 3 Rounds of:

Chin-ups,
Prisoner Squats,
Dips,
Jumping Lunges,
Hanging Leg Raises.

In a circuit, you move from exercise to exercise without any rest. For each one do about 75% of your max reps. So, if you could do 40 chin-ups, you would be doing about 30.

Escalated Weight Snatches:
- Do a snatch with the empty bar;
- Add 5 pounds, do another snatch;
- Add 5 pounds, and continue until you cannot add any more weight.

If by then you are wasted, call it a day. If you still have some juice left, take 5 pounds off the bar, and keep doing snatches, until your bar is empty again.

Endurance cardio.
Choose running, cycling, swimming, whatever, and just do low-intensity long-duration training.
I know much is said about the disadvantages of such training, but once in a while won't do you any harm, and it is part of an all-around functional body.

HIIT training.
Choose whatever you want (Sprinting, Rope Jumping, Swimming) and do High Intensity Interval Training for about 20 minutes, or as long as you see fit.
HIIT consists of doing short bursts of high intensity training, followed by short resting intervals.
One example would be sprinting all out for 30 seconds, rest 1 minute, sprint again, and so on.
Decide the times according to your capacities.

20 Minutes of Deadlift Heavy Singles.

Do a deadlift, rest as long as necessary, repeat.
The weight should be about 90% of your 1RM (1 rep max).
Enjoy.
