With busy schedules, meetings, and work you may want to spend more of your free time doing the things you love...

Which means you may opt to not go to the gym and get your workout in.

And that’s perfectly okay. Because today, you’re going to learn the best way to train your legs—with no equipment needed.

This at-home workout will give you everything you need to train the biggest and baddest muscle groups in your body.

Because face it:

Strong, well-defined legs show you’re serious about your training—and you care about your results.

[Remember: Your legs use the most nutrients—and when developed the right way, training your legs may spike your metabolism, and help you burn off unwanted pounds.]

So…no more excuses for why you can’t train legs…

These exercises are sure to give your glutes, hamstrings, quads, hips, and all your stabilizing muscles the workout of a lifetime.

Here’s what you should be doing:

1. Squats

Arguably the best exercise for developing the legs and glutes (your butt), the squat should be a staple in any leg workout you do. Not only does it target the muscles in your legs, when done correctly (with good form), the squat targets your core as well.

2. Lunges

The lunge is a great exercise for developing the quads, hamstrings, and glutes…it also adds stress to your hips, which helps strengthen your stabilizing muscle groups. Not only is this exercise great for developing all the muscles in your legs, you might develop better stability and balance.

3. Side Lunges

Similar to the lunge, this exercise targets many different muscles in your legs—although you’re working in a different plane of motion. Most of the work in this exercise comes from the glutes and the hips, which is ideal for developing strength in all the muscle groups in your legs.

This exercise is also important because your body moves in all planes of motion—so working your muscles in the same way your body moves is especially important for injury prevention and strength.

4. Glute Bridge

This exercise, also called bridging or hip raises, is a perfect exercise for those with injuries or limitations in your knees, hips, or ankles. This exercise, which targets the glutes, hamstrings, hips, and lower back is ideal for those who want to work their legs, but aren’t quite strong enough, or recovering from an injury, for a full range squat.

5. Supine Stability Ball Leg Curl

This exercise is ideal for building strength in your leg muscles, while also building core strength. Although this exercise targets the major muscle in the legs, the attention is focused on the hamstrings, due to the flexion and extension of the knee.

If you want to transform your metabolism, and develop massive strength in your legs, you don’t need a gym to do it. You can get the same fat-blasting results in the comfort of your own home—by doing these 5 bodyweight exercises. These exercises will help you blast fat and build strong, sleek muscles in no time at all.

If you’re unsure how to perform these exercises, or you would like help developing your own leg routine you can do at home—or in the gym—be sure to give us a call to set up a time so we can discuss your program needs.
