Bodyweight exercises would be your best bet.
Variations of lunges, squats, push ups, dips, jumps, burpees etc.
These would all give you some form of resistance without using weights.

I agree with the reply above, but would ask why you don't want to train with weights... is it a functional issue such as finances for a gym membership, or some misconceived perception of weight training ??
You will get some benefit from 'callisthenics' - body weight exercises but you will progress much further with added resistance.
Jugging, help you strength and give you more stamina
Yoga
Not just weightraining but also cardio vascular endurance training,proper nutrition,yoga for physical&mental, strength+circuit training&proper sleep. Because strength means physical/ mental power&endurance.
I agree with ishan_neo&all above my answer is also same
My 2 cents....
I would start training using slow movements that stretch the muscles and more importantly stretch and strengthen the tendons. If big muscles are not a concern but strength is, then you do not need heavy weights. Although weights might get you there more quickly.
Use items in the home like a pan full of water, or books in a pillow case, etc. There are many ways to add weight to an exercise using everyday items in your house.
Use slow movements and many, many repetitions, this will give you strength and endurance.
But concentrate on strengthening the tendons, this provides lasting strength that support the muscles.
Check this website BodyWeightCulture.com. They have alot of simple exercises and full trainings. They have a video clip.
There are so many ways, dance, pilates ,martial arts to name but a few.
The harder question is what do you want to achieve, when you have decided that then the exercise style is much easier to find.
Resistance bands / dyna bands. You can pick them up in most sports shops for a few quid and they take up no room Thye add resistance to exercises like push ups, squats, many sporting techniques (punching for example) plus you can train any muscle group with them.
