Home Leg Exercises

Your Ultimate Guide To Home Leg Workouts

Setting up a leg workout in the comfort of your own home is very easy. All you need is your bodyweight and a pair of dumbbells. I have never spent any valuable time on those fancy gym machines for your legs, and still have built huge legs.

Here are some exercises I used to build up my lower body:

Lunges

Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and take a step forward with your right foot.
Place your hands on your hips for balance. Lower your body towards the ground until your left leg forms a right angle at the knee.
Raises yourself back to starting position, and pull your right foot back in.
Repeat with the left leg.

Note: You can also perform this exercise with dumbbells. Just hold the dumbbells out to your sides while performing the movement.

Squats

Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and arms by your sides.
Keep your back straight, and slowly lower yourself down, with the weight focused on your heels, not your toes.
Pretend you are sitting back on a chair and keep going as low as possible.
Return to starting position and repeat as desired.

Note: You can also perform this exercise with dumbbells. Just hold the dumbbells out to your sides while performing the movement.

Sumo Squat

Stand with your feet slightly wider that should width apart.
Keep your back straight and slowly lower yourself down towards the floor.
You may want to keep your toes pointing slightly outwards.
Return to starting position and repeat as desired.

Note: In order to perform this exercise with dumbbells, hold one dumbbell vertically in between your legs. Clasp the dumbbell by its head by both hands.

These three exercises should give you a complete leg workout. You can now stop relying on those expensive gym machines, and just start building your body at home.

One of the best home fitness product I've come across is Gladiator Body Workout. I recently interviewed the creator of the Gladiator Body Workout, Coach Eddie Lomax. You can read the interview on my site, ShahTraining.com
