Hey, /fit/ I just recently moved and don't want to join a new gym until I get the lay of the land. What would be some good exercises to do in the meantime. I own a backpack and about 30 pounds of dumbells, so I've been thinking of putting the weights into my backpack and getting into Rucking. Could I make a makeshift Kettlebell? Any other ideas or tips would be great
Pic related, similar to the backpack im looking to integrate into my workout routine

i heard rucking is bad for knees. but i am not sure. do pushups and pullups if you can.
picking up heavy things. getting into fights

you have no reason to ruck if youre not in the military. you have to sorta do a "shuffle" when ruck running so you dont blow your knees out 10 years from now.
use that backpack with weights and do some weighted dips pullups planks and squats then do some regular running / sprints

Pushups, weighted planks with the dbs in the backpack, lateral raises, lunges w/ the backpack, curls, overhead extensions
If you can get a pullup bar cause otherwise you have no good way of training back
Resistance bands are a cheap way of jerry rigging a home workout with very low weights

Ya, the knees are a worry. I figured for rucking I'd do two sessions, the morning before breakfast and before dinner. Take it slower with more sessions, less impact on my poor knees
