Can I do that? I'm really short on cash so I can't get a gym membership, and I haven't got any weights at home. And like I said, I'm really poor right now, so I can't just go and get weights. Does anyone know how I could do strength training without them?

    Yes, body weight exercises such as calisthenics and plyometrics are good strength training exercises that can be done without weights. There are many good examples and programs for these available online for free.

    You can add weight without 'weights' by using things you have aroung the house such as full bottles, cans or jugs. If you have a backpack, you can fill that with several bottles/cans and wear while doing squats and lunges.
