    Use your body weight - lunges, squats, push-ups, burpees. These exercises do not require weights but provide great results.

    Also check out fitnessblender - I love their routines and you can search all of their videos by a bunch of criteria, including length, estimated calorie burn, body focus, training type, equipment etc.

    The You Are Your Own Gym app has great bodyweight workouts. You can also do things like rows, curls, shoulder press, turkish getups, thrusters etc with your weights. You can even add them to some bodyweight moves like squats and lunges. Good luck!
