It's very easy to workout at home, it depends on what kind of style exercises you're looking for. For example;

If you want to build all round muscle and do old school style bodybuilding, you can a training split for your body parts and use various body weight and dumbbell exercises. For example chest day could be lying down dumbbell press, dumbbell flyes bent over sat on a chair, press ups/off the knees if necessary. You can check out bodybuilding.com which can give you rated exercises for every targeted muscle and group, with or without certain equipment and you can make your own routine.

If you want to do full body routines, but also geared towards old school weight lifting - you can do the same as above but incorporate more compound exercises such as deadlifts and squats, also using dumbbells three times a week. It's also possible to utilise the kettle bells for the same effect, and any other equipment you get, including your own body weight.

If you want to do workout circuit training, then yes, as above, there are various workout DVDs. Finding which one that works best for you depends on the style of training you enjoy and of course, research of whether what they do in the DVDs actually work and aren't hyped up rubbish. There's a wide range of dvd's from intense ones like P90X and Insanity to Jillian Micheal and other training DVDs. You can also visit various trainers/fitness inspired websites that offer free or monthly paid subs to see daily or weekly updated training exercises such as BodyRock, Zuzana/Zuzalight which can be found on YouTube, their own websites and facebook. YouTube also offers various users that update daily workouts. On another hand, there are various fitness models, male and female, that in return for a monthly subscription or one off payment can supply a workout and exercise plan according to your needs.

It's key to remember that you can utilise anything and everything for exercise.

Is there a YM/WCA around? Usually they will have some sort of scholarship program. My local Y even has a section for expenses and extenuating circumstances if your income seems to high at a glance.

I've been using a combination of body weights exercises (pushups, planks, wall sits ,etc) I also supplement these with faux TRX straps that hang from my door. That gives me a great workout, and seriously cost 40 dollars, way less than the actual TRX bands and they work just as well. I'm a huge fan of bodyweights, pushups, especially. Worked my way from doing girly style to doing full out ones. My goal is to learn how to do a headstand this year, which will involve a lot more core work. But this is all from the privacy of my home and I've seen plenty of results from it.

Saving. Great resources!

Looks like lots of great bodyweight exercises were posted here. You can challenge yourself by doing those with a weighted vest. They're $20 - $30 for a 20 lb vest. I love mine, especially for walking lunges.
