    Good workouts for lower body without weights?

    Anyone know of any good workouts for the lower body without the need for weights? I only have dumbells and bars.

    I particularly want to tone my quad regions and my lower legs.

    An exercise for all over toning would be to do some squats w/the dumbells tucked under your butt...or squat and bring your arms straight in front of your body to counterbalance...you should be able to squat pretty deep this way. (I like doing these with a stability ball against a wall) BILLIE

    So you have bars but no weights is that right ?
    How heavy are those dumbells?
    What this means is that when we drop a ball and it falls to the ground, it wasn't the ball that moved (down to the ground), but the ground that moved (up to the ball)

    Wall sits work pretty well (sit with your back straight against a wall, knees bent at 90 degrees). Also you can do step ups, find a box or something and hold the dumbells stepping up and on and off the box. Bench jumps....bend down low and "explode" off the ground as high as you can onto a bench or box.
