While bodyweight exercises can take you far, if you’re able to add weights to your routine, you should. And this lower body workout with weights is a great place to start, since it takes exercises you may already be familiar with — air squats, lateral lunges, step-ups — and just adds resistance. But first, a

In an ever-evolving era of technology, I have proven somewhat resistant to the latest gadgets.
