Help me with my legs routine!

[BerryBlis]

Hello,

So I just moved into a new apartment and don't have a bench/leg extension machine anymore (I had one at my old house). I workout at home so I have access to dumbells and an exercise ball. What would you guys suggest for a legs routine for me? I was thinking of doing 3 sets of squats, 3 sets of lunges, 3 sets of sumo squats, 1 set of hamstring curls with the ball (kind of awkward and crapy since there is no weights....), 3 sets of deadlifts and 3 sets of calf raises. What do you think?
Any advice would be great! (but please don't just reply...find a gym) because I need something i can do from home..
Thanks!

This sounds sort of stupid, but it's harder than you may think. Basically run in place, but bring your knees up to about your chest (it helps if you hold your hands in front of your chest and you hit them with your knee each time you jump up) for a set amount of time. It's actually quite tiring. Since you're in an apartment and your lower neighbors might not enjoy that activity, you might want to go outside nearby and do it, but give it a try, it could work out quite well for you.

Used to do that when I kickboxed, it is WAY harder than you think!!!
