Calf Raises

Stand with your feet hip-distance apart and facing forward. With weights in both hands at your sides, bend forward at the waist, so your torso is parallel to the ground with your arms hanging straight down toward the floor without allowing them to touch it. Rise up on toes for two counts before lowering back down to starting position. Repeat 15 times if using no weights; add additional challenge by holding dumbbells in each hand while performing these calf raises later on.

Squat Jumps

Stand with your feet hip-distance apart, arms extended at your sides. This is the starting position. Now lower yourself into a full squat by bending your knees and sitting back at the hips as if you’re about to sit in an imaginary chair for three counts before explosively jumping up as high as possible while reaching overhead for two counts. Land softly back into the squatting position for two counts before repeating this explosive move for 10 reps.

Conclusion

One of the biggest challenges for people who want to work out is finding time and space. If you don’t have access to a gym membership or weights, there are still plenty of leg workouts that you can do at home! All you need is your body weight and some low-impact moves like squats, lunges, side leg raises, calf raises, and squat jumps. Try these exercises in your living room with nothing more than a wall (or chair) for support, or add additional challenge by wearing ankle weights or holding dumbbells while performing them later on. Remember, 15 reps per exercise equals one set; three sets total will provide an excellent workout without any equipment necessary!
