Is it possible to do an effective leg/weighted workout at home without joining a gym? Lots of questions, I know. But I feel like I need a lot of help.

Thanks!


how much do you want to spend - you can get more DB of higher weights - a pair of 15lb, 20lb, 25lb, 30lb, etc.
you can buy a Barbell & weights & weight bench & power cage and do nearly every freeweight exercise possible.

You can hold DB and do step ups (usually harder than squats for same weight)- you can raise step height as you get fitter in legs --- etc.

you can put DBs in a back pack and do squats/lunges/stepups instead of holding DB in your hands.
