I do everything from home. I don't have a barbell. I use dumbells for most of my exercises! How can i do a squat with a dumbell?

Stand with your feet at shoulder width apart with your toes and knees slightly pointing outward. Hold dumbbells in your hands with your arms at your sides. Keep your back straight and your head up. Squat down until your thighs are parallel to the floor. Slowly return to the starting position.

same thing as a bar squat..

If you go to freetrainers resources and explore you should be able to find an actor doing almost all of the exercises.

for more of a squatting motion, you could even do a DB front squat with the weight racked in a "Clean" position.
