bubbles is right ...plenty of floor moves you can do with bands...clam for hips...and glute bridges off heels for glutes and off toes for hammies with bands, etc.
But also there really different ways to hit that lower body to shake things up! I never just do side lunges..I do the star move from the old Kathy Smith FFLBF. But here's a demo of modified explosive Single leg deadlift, tactical lunges and some floor work that I thought was fun. Or at least better than same old squats and lunges. I don't have Facebook but can see anyway and used weight plates and dumbbells for the moves so you don't need a kettlebell. here's the link https://www.facebook.com/LaurenBrook...7979002073147/ I would rather hit those muscles doing things I like. Hope these help!

I have recently been feeling this, mostly because working out exclusively from home has me doing so much FIRM since it's the highest percentage of my workout video collection, and I'm like, omg another segment of lunges and dips and squats and I am going to LOSE IT. I miss going to barre classes and doing legs in a totally different way. Hopefully once my second dose is two weeks out I can start thinking about getting back to barre classes.

What do you like to do for cardio? If you walk, run, cycle, rebound, or do other leg-intensive cardio, that plus floorwork may be plenty.

I am doing "old school" workouts that usually have three sets of 10-12 reps per exercise. That really eliminates any dread factor for me. If squats and lunges don't cause any joint issues for you, I'd recommend keeping them in the mix! You will thank yourself in the future.

My lower body was in the best shape it had ever been when I was doing barre. Sadly, I can't do it any more because of permanent effects of a foot injury, but I've been doing Barlates lower body work (DVD and You Tube), and it's very effective. There's a lot of variety in what she does.
