    Some effective home excercises would be push-ups, dips (using a chair or bench) and body squats. People think that just doing a normal body squat is easy, but try doing 100 of them and see how sore you will be the next day. I also recommend the threaded adjustable dumbells or kettlebells. They are a fairly inexpensive addition to a home gym. For less than $100, you can have 2 dumbells and maybe 40 lbs of weight. I know that the mantra is "lift heavy" but I have had some excellent results using lighter weights with an insane amount of repetitions (200 tricep pulldowns, 100 squats using 90 lbs, etc.) I believe that ANY excercise is better than NO excercise. You don't need to buy 400 lbs of weights to have an effective home gym. A bench and some dumbbells will suffice.
