    split squats and 1-legged squats are AWESOME and require NO EQUIPTMENT other than maybe something to hold onto for balance. Also jumping exercises like burpees, jump squats, etc will fry 'em!

    squats and deadlifts.

    when you can squat 1.5x your body weight and deadlift 2x your body weight, consider adding other ones.

    Remember to learn proper form, Buns of Steele would be a great $5.00 investment through Amazon.com . DVD has two additional DVDs, arms of steele and abs of steele!
