The best way to increase your strength, is to increase your overall health. You've probably heard it before, but that means eating plenty of fruits and vegetables and eating a well-balanced diet. You should also make sure to stay well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
Remember, you don't just want to strengthen your muscles - if you're going to be a base, it's vital that you make sure your bones are as strong as possible. That means getting plenty of calcium from milk and dairy products, as well as leafy green vegetables.
The last element is exercise, of course. You can alternate cardiovascular exercises such as walking, running, or cross-ramp training with weight machines. Or if you don't belong to a club, get a set of hand weights and go for speed-walks while lifting the weights. That's not the full-body strengthening you're looking for, but it will certainly help.
And because you need to keep your mind in shape just as much as your body, I'd recommend reading at least one book a month just for fun, if you aren't already.
