How's my BW workout?

This is what I've done for the past week. I just had surgery so I'm inclined to do BW instead of getting to the gym. It was based on a workout from Men's Health, but I sort of changed it. So this is what I got.

Exercise - Reps
Prisoner Squat - 30
Pushups - 30
Dips - 15
Supine SL Hip Extension - 10 each
Reverse/Bicycle Crunch - 15 each / 30 respectively
Plank - 45 seconds
SL Stiff Leg DL - 10 each
Static Lunge - 15 each
Close Grip Push Up - 15
Inverted Row - 15
SL Calf Raise - 15 each

I do the whole thing as a circuit (no rest), then rest 1 minute and repeat it. The only difference is the second time around I do bicycle crunches instead of reverse crunches.

I thought it was fairly well rounded, but if not, this is something else I looked at: that also seemed like it may be a good option. The only caveat is I can't do pull ups, so I would probably sub inverted rows. Not the greatest switch, but that's the best I can do.

Thoughts on what I have vs. the 30 days one?
 
I'm always impressed with Mens Health workouts, so I would have confidence in their workouts. Doing a set without rest should be a hard workout.

Well I couldn't do the pulls they required and I don't have the right size Swiss Ball to do the leg curls and pikes it called for. Thus, I substituted dips, supine hip extensions, and bicycle/reverse crunches, and planks.

BTW, did you look at the 30 days workout by any chance?
