I need to work on all of my lower body

What are some good exercises i can do in my home to get more done then what i get with situps, some crunches and v ups?

Also i'm wondering where i can get more information on good exercises to do for my lower body and back too. I'm trying to get a schedule down and i need good excercises to mix things up besides the baisc ones that only hit some areas.

Do you have some weights? Otherwise you are quite limited but there are still things you can do...

Lower body:
Squats (many variations)
Lunges
Some form of jump squat

Upper body:
Pullups (back/bi's)
Pushups (various types)
Dips
Handstand pushups

Theres just a few.......

For lower abs I've always liked pulse ups but there's a ton of others.

Incase you're unsure how to do a pulse up what you do is lay flat on your back with your hands at your sides, and bring your legs up straight then push (or "pulse") them up with your lower abs/hips so your bottom gets off the ground:

http://sixpackabsprogram.com/images/pulse_up.jpg

Then bring your bottom back to the ground but DON'T let your legs come back to the floor you want to keep them straight up in the air... keep them as straight as possible. When you do the pulse-up the momentum is going to make your legs want to go to floor. Engage the ab section so they don't!

Tip: Rather than lay your hands on the ground use your finger tips, some find this helps the motion. With the hands completely flat some were using their shoulders to help the movement.

For lower back AND abs I like the "Superman Banana"... start on your stomach with arms and legs raised (as if you were Superman) and hold it for three seconds, then roll to your back and hold your hands and legs up (as if you were a banana). Hold that for three seconds also then just keep alternating for how many ever reps (each reps is two movements, superman and banana) you think you require.

Those are without weights... with weights there's a ton for the lower back.

I have weights, multiple sets of dumbbells and planning on getting more to choose from. Which types of weights are good to have laying around?

Do pulse ups isolate the lower abs?
For some reason when i do my ab exercises it really hits the top and mid section well but the lower part around my waistline gets neglected and that shows in how much body looks. The top is getting shaped and toned quicker.

What are some good exercises that target the lower lower abs specifically
