I don't know anything about weight training. I'm curious why leg  
exercises would be bad? How much is too much?

I think I could have benefitted from something to strengthen my  
quads. I still could benefit from that. Any leg exercises that don't  
require me signing up for a gym membership but also will actually  
work my quads (without allowing me to fake my way out of working my  
quads)?
