It's not new, but there's Horizontal Conditioning. You hold your body weight up with your hands in plank and side plank variations and also some down dog. It is pretty thorough, but I would add reverse plank to the mix. And handstands, if you are comfortable with them.

Cody (now called Alo Moves) also has a number of bodyweight strength training programs. The strength-based series can be found here. It is streaming, but I think that the workouts can be downloaded on a mobile app. There is a 2 week free trial and then it's $20/month. I had it for a few months and loved it and will go back at some point when I am ready to move on from Pilates.

I definitely have enjoyed adding kettlebells to the mix -- it's nice to have more variety and it's great for cardio conditioning and lower body to boot. And this morning, I realized I should dust off my FIRM DVDs since those are so different from my staple of Cathe, KCM and Gilad for upper body strength (between the AWT routines and two upper body routines, definitely a change from the usual).

I thought of this thread just now when I did the Thighs & Arms segment of Linda Wooldridge's Hula Barre Fusion DVD. The arm work is done with very light weights (she uses 500g/1.1 lb), and it's hula-style swaying/circular movements, but it isn't a dancy workout. I found it easy to follow and fun, and it really worked my arms! There are good clips of this DVD on totalfitnessdvds.com.
