Favorite body weight workouts

So KateTT's thread got me to thinking about trying more body weight workouts to round out my program. What are your favorites, either DVD or you tube?

Thanks!

Sydney Cummings & Tracy Steen have some good Bodyweight workouts on You Tube. In fact I was just viewing Sydney's 50 min. Full Body Bodyweight Workout. It looks pretty tough. I am getting addicted to her workouts.

Sadly I have become more of a strength wimp as I've gotten older - lots of joint pains - but I'm very open and curious to hear what others recommend. Bodyweight work can be really hard! (I need beginner options. )

horizontal conditioning shocks my body into better shape every time i pull them out. they are tough but effective and a nice change to routines.

A few bodyweight-included rotations I've done in the past and enjoyed:

P90X3 paired with Cathe's Fit Split & yoga

Paul Katami 4x4 paired with Body Beast & Cathe (for weight work) & yoga

Circuit Burnout 90 paired with occasional Beast strength/other Cardio & Yoga


*Some of these workouts involve weights but most have the bodyweight focus.*


I'm sure I've done more, just remember these off the top of my head. I don't usually follow rotations "as is", I need to add in other genres as that's the only way I stay injury free and boredom free (as Yoga ALWAYS is in the mix).

ETA: thought of a few more single workouts:
Cathe's LITE Bodyweight & Bands (not sure it's a favorite, as I've only done it once; will need to try it again to remember it).
Yvette Bachman has a few Bodyweight only workouts on Youtube. Her workouts are always a hit and a nice challenge!
And a lot of my Yoga classes (UY, Yoga30For30, Travis' Short & Sweet) are all favorites and awesome used as bodyweight work.

FYI: Here's an interesting article about Bodyweight workouts Cathe posted on her blog:

I like Linda Wooldridge's Endurance 1+2=3 and Endurance 90 Handstand Variation. All that handstand work has done wonders for my upper body strength!

Thanks for all the suggestions! Keep them coming!

I did Michele Dozois' BodyFit 360 yesterday and it is also a body weight workout.

I read the article from the link---thanks! My intention is to integrate body weight training with traditional weight work. I love variety.
