Does anyone have suggestions on strength training exercises for me? I don't have access to a gym and I don't have any weights at home.

Squats, push-ups, sit-ups and lunges are really great exercises, especially if you do them in a circuit. You could add some tricep dips using a chair.0

Also, you can use cans of food for weights. push-ups help.

I agree with all thee above and also For weights: use canned vegies or fill milk jugs with sand/water or whatever! Put two chairs back to back a lil wide, place a broom through them, lay on floor under broom about even with chest ,grip broom shoulder width or a lil wider and do pull ups. Do a close hand push up (that works the tricep) Hope this and the above help! If you can try and get some bands or some hand weights but BODY weight works too! Best wishes!
