I work out at home when I skip the gym (so, a lot) so I may be able to help. These are some great options:

7 minute workouts. Extra effective if you do it two or three times in a row.
My home gym is a floor mat for abs, an iron gym and ab straps for the iron gym. The whole set up costs less than my gym monthly payment.
Have you tried HIIT? I follow this table and use burpees as high intensity exercise. Beware: you'll end up lying on the floor in a puddle of your own sweat. Take it easy at first.

I think I ordered almost that exact same model with Walmart's ship to store program for about half that price. Let me go look.

*edit
yep this is free site to store pickup, $10.50 no shipping charges.

There are a few bodyweight-based programs, all of them are fairly similar, but they take a different slant on things.

You Are Your Own Gym is built around military-style calisthenics. There are variations of all the different movements that are based around making them easier so you can do fifty of them and experience that brand of misery, or to make them more difficult and strength-focused. YAYOG has a very nice set of apps that go with it as well.

Convict Conditioning is another bodyweight program based around six different movements (handstand, pull-up, push-up, leg-raises, back-bridges, pistol squats). The progressions are pretty nice, but the way it's presented is like it was written for fifteen year-olds. 2edgy4u, and such.

Overcoming Gravity is a gymnastics-based program, but is also a huge firehose of information about fitness in general. It's a great resource for designing your own program, but if you're a beginner, I don't think the sheer volume of information would be helpful.

All of these would require a pull-up bar. There's the classic Iron Gym, or this thing if the Iron Gym ends up being too low, and if you can screw something into a wall somewhere, I suggest this one.

Or just work out at home. I've been doing it for over 2 years now and am very happy with the results. No transit time or other gym BS, just working out whenever is convenient. That said, I would recommend setting up a regular schedule so you stick to it. For the first year, I worked out every 3 days, same routine every time. Now I do every other day, with some bodyweight jump squats on the off days.

Get one of these. Start doing chinups (5 sets of 7 reps), using your legs to cheat, but as little as possible. As you lose weight and gain muscle, you should have to use your legs less and less, eventually you'll be pounding them out no problem. Chinups are great because they work biceps, back, and lats. Do pushups (again, I like 5x7) and wear a backpack with stuff in it if you find 7 reps too easy (if 7 is too hard, then work up to it). That will work core, triceps, and chest. You can do lateral raises of a heavy backpack for delts, and jump squats for legs. Between all those exercises, you'll be hitting every muscle group you care about.

I picked up one of these at Goodwill for cheap www.amazon.com/Iron-Gym-Express-Chin-Up-Bar/dp/B003VNAKEE/ (Many brands make these). It'd help with the pullups.

That said, I still prefer working out in the park, but that's more because I lack air conditioning in my apartment.
