A great way to develop posterior chain strength using body weight would be unilateral work involving single-leg balance touches, bulgarian split squats, step ups, etc.

Thanks for the information Will!
I hear you on the cardio. What we, (we will workout together) will do is those agility runs that are stop and go, ie: run 5 yards, stop and reverse course, run back to start, stop and reverse course, run 10 yards, etc. The biking will be just riding through our neigborhood with different cadences, speeds, etc. You know like we rode bikes when we were kids (I'm assuming you did that!). The body weight work should be easy to develope a few different workouts with. What rep range would you recommend?
About this "single-leg balance touches" I can think of some exercises from Ian King. What else would you recommend here?
