Legs - no gym

I'm really trying to target my legs. I walk and run a lot, I ride horses and I have a yoga membership, but no formal gym. I have 5-25 lb dumbbells at home, and lately I've been doing squats and lunges with the added weights of dumbbells.

I'm wondering if there are a larger variety of leg exercises I can do besides the obvious. Any videos or sites you can recommend would be great!

    Not sure what the obvious are the the squats and lunges you are doing are some of the best. You can also add harder variations - jump squats and lunges, pistol squats, etc.

    In addition to the dumbbells, you could put a backpack on with book or some such in it. To add weight to what your doing. It will add to the burn

    pistol squats would be king if you can do them.
