For natural weightlifting head to your cupboard and pantry! Find a couple 16 oz. cans and get ready to work your biceps. A quick workout, then lunch!

Some strategies would be obviously not to purchase any equipment, or use any money on weights, weightlifting equipment, supplemants, etc. I would recommend doing exercises such as pullups, situps, chinups, etc., in addition, to doing various videos and doing various cardio exercises which are simple and effective (jogging, riding the bike, etc.)
