Dynamic Strength/Jump Rope workout
Due to financial issues (who knew a 7-month-old would be so expensive :)), I'm going to be cancelling my gym membership in the next few weeks. I do not have weights at home, and I'm hesitant to buy used ones. Instead, I'm looking to go back to Harry Wong's Dynamic Strength exercises that I was doing about 6 years ago. They were great, but I want to integrate a good jump-rope workout with it.

Does anyone have any advice on routines for either portion of the workout?

BTW - I will also be doing cardio training (non-jump-rope-related) to train for some 5k races coming up (that's the easy part)

Spark People has a 10-minute jump rope cardio routine that you can check out here. I've never done this one myself but I've done other Spark People cardio routines (see my answer to this question for specifics) and they are pretty good workouts.

For the other portion of your workout, if you don't want to buy weights you might try some body weight exercises. This post has a bunch of good recommendations, including You Are Your Own Gym and CrossFit.

I've found Pavel Tsatsouline's book The Naked Warrior to be a good source of bodyweight exercises.
