If you can, and if your legs are up for it, incorperate weighted squats, especially if you want to gain muscle and the legs are good for that. Basically, bar on your shoulders, and the usual squat position. I used to do them a lot and DAMN did they feel good, ... makes you feel powerful lifting that weight while squatting down and pushing yourself back up again.
If you have bad joints, or a dodgy back, I would check with your doctor to see if you're safe to do this stuff.

cheers dude, it was actually your mention of squats before that reminded me I needed to work on this part.
talking of dodgy back i've had a recurring back ache or muscle problem this year, did some exercises today but went a bit easier on my back. I think I came away from it ok. I find sometimes it can be hard to judge whether i've done myself a bit of injury as I often don't feel it until a few days later.
