Yoga and pilates is also good

It's not what we eat or drink occasionally, but what we consume on a daily basis that determines our ongoing level o health.

If you mean what is sometimes referred to as "functional strength," or even just overall foundation building, then charlie826 is definitely putting you on the right track.

Any of the compound lifts are great: squat, deads, bench, military, clean and jerk, snatch, etc., will all build a great base.
