Menshealth!.com is a great site for workouts, they have a lot of creative ones if you dig around the 'fitness' section!. As for the exercises you can't do: lat pull downs are a good chin up substitute, and dips can be replaced by chest and tricep exercises!. Do the resistance training as a circuit; do one set of an exercise, then move on to the next exercise!. No rest till you finish one time around!. Keep going around till you finish 2 sets for each!. Here's a sample routine for you:
Strength workout (3 days a week, one day of rest between):
-5min warm up (cardio of your choice)
-Crunches, ~20 reps
-Side bridge, hold for 30 seconds!.
-Squats or Leg press, 8-12 reps
-Leg curl machine, 8-12 reps
-Calve Raises, 10-15 reps
-Bench Press, 5-7 reps
-Lat Pull downs, 5-7 reps
-Pec Flies, 8-12 reps
-Bent Over Rows, 8-12 reps
-Shoulder Press, 5-7 reps
-Lateral Raises, 8-12 reps
-Bicep Curls, 8-12 reps
-Tricep Kickbacks, 8-12 reps
-Give yourself about 2 minutes of rest, and do the circuit again!.
-5 min cool down
This routine can reasonably be done in 45 minutes, once you get going!.
Don't cheat and rest more than 30 seconds between sets!. This will get your heart rate up and help you build some muscle, while burning away the fat!. For the same reason, don't ignore your lower body: your glutes and quads are two of your biggest calorie burning muscle groups!. For your first week do 20 min of cardio on 3 of your off days (take one day totally off)!. After you get into the rhythm, boost your cardio to at least 30 minutes and consider doing intervals!.
