muscles in one leg more developed

I am right handed and apparently "right-legged" as well. The muscles in my right leg are more noticably developed than the left. Any suggestions on ways to develop the muscles in the left leg to be more symmetrical. I don't have a gym membership, but do have dumbells.

Re: muscles in one leg more developed
I think most people are like this. From what I understand, muscle symmetry is one of the main things bodybuilders work on b/c it doesn't come naturally. My left leg muscles are a bit smaller than the right.

Do things like one-legged balance squats, lunges, etc. Use both legs but you might consider more reps on the weaker leg. Running only has one leg on the ground at one time, so the most specific strengthening is done that way anyway.
