A member asked:
Can you use school bags as weights and hold it on the handle when doing squats?

Sure: Try to get them the same weight if possible. Anything like that will work. Some people fill milk jugs with water or sand and use as weights. Handles are great. Good thinking -- keep at it. Good Luck.

Weights: If dumb bells are not handy, you might try cans of soup as they might be easier to hold and balance than school bags.
