Home workouts to gain strength

Does anyone have some basic home workouts that I can do to gain some strength? I have zero strength right now so I'd like to start simple so I don't get discouraged.

    I would start with You're your own gym, a body weight based plan that you can find on the internet then move onto New Rules of Lifting for Women or Starting Strength.

    I've found a lot of videos on YouTube I like. Bikini Body Mommy is pretty good (but her voice annoys me) and blogilates.

    Yoga is great if you are just starting out :) There are all kinds of videos. I like Yoga Journal's and Yoga Zone's are nice, etc.

    I'm big on resistance bands because of my back (and they're cheap, easy to use at home, small, portable, etc). There's a bunch of great youtube vids for getting started.

    Darn! You beat me to it! Fitness Blender is great. It has a variety of workout videos at different levels and lengths. Most are free. Some take equipment and some don't and cover the spectrum from yoga/pilates/stretching to hardcore HIIT and weights.
