| When doing squats at home, to compensate for not having a set of weights, would putting books and heavy objects in a backpack be ok? |

No, you want them in line with your body. Hold them up above your head because you also work out your arms then through resistance training.
Plus backpacks are too loose so you negatively impact your workout by creating the pendulum movement where the added weight makes it easier to move. It's the same thing as when people do that jerk motion when lifting weights. It ruins your workout because you're putting extra weight behind it as well as momentum and not actually focusing mainly on your target muscle/s. |

| What are some workouts I can do at home though for when I dont have time to go to the gym at the day. All I can really think of is pushups and abs, since I don't have any weights |

How do those work? I've heard them mentioned here a few times.
(yes, I'm too lazy to Google right now, leaving for work in a minute) |

Jog on the spot for 1min, then sprint on the spot for 30seconds. Then jog for 1min, sprint for 30sec etc. Try and do at least 3 reps and do more as you get better.
While you're sprinting, kick your knees up so they hit your hands (fully extended) in like a military style run.
Once you're comfortable with this, do only 30secs of jogging rather than a full minute.
Best cardio ever but it kills your calves. |

This ought to motivate a few fatties.
2006. It was pretty tough, but it's the best thing I've done in my life so far. |
