What do you do with the dumbbells? I'm curious because I only know a few things to do with them, and they're all mostly upper-body.

So far not too much; I've been adapting some exercise routines from The 4-Hour Body which has a strongly minimalist approach. Shoulder Press (seated), Bench Press, Kneeling Rows, and Squats. Doing just the basics seems to be working!

Hold them and do squats, hold them and jump, do either of those on one foot rather than two. Thosr are passable lower body barbell exercises.
