Using your own bodyweight is one way (pushups and situps). You can improvise "dumbbells" out of plastic gallon water or empty milk jugs filled with water or sand. With water, these are about 8lbs. With sand, not sure but fill one and weigh it on a scale.

With these, you can do any number of strength exercises, such as presses and curls.
Just be inventive.

4 sets of 10 with a minute's rest between each set. Do these for a hour along with any cardio.
