Wall Sits
A wall sit is a real quad burner. It works the muscles in front of your thighs. Though it is a straightforward exercise, most people still do it wrong.
Here’s How You Can Perform A Wall Sit Properly
- Stand while keeping your back straight against the wall. Your feet must be shoulder-width apart.
- Now slowly lower your back down the wall till your thighs are parallel to the ground.
- Your knees should be directly above your ankles to adjust your feet accordingly.
- Hold the position for 40 to 60 seconds.
- Move up and stand back to the starting position.
- Now rest for 20 to 30 seconds and repeat the exercise three times.
- As you get comfortable with the workout, increase the time by five seconds to build more strength.
Squat Jumps
Squat jumps improve agility and power. These are great to include in a home workout routine.
Follow These Steps To Perform It Correctly
- Stand with knees slightly bent and feet shoulder-width apart.
- Bend your knees to enter a squat position.
- Now push your body up the floor, extending through your legs. With legs fully extended, the feet will be a few inches off the floor.
- Control your landing through the foot and lower into the squat for another power-packed jump.
- After landing, immediately repeat the next jump.
Glute Bridge
You will feel the burn in your hamstrings and glutes when you do the glute bridge correctly.
Here’s How To Perform It Properly
- Lie with your face up on the floor, knees bent and feet flat. Place your arms at the sides with palms down.
- Push your hips up the ground until the hips, shoulders, and knees form a straight line.
- Hold your position for a couple of seconds before lowering it down.
- Do two sets of ten bridges for significant impact.
The Bottom Line
You don’t have to compromise with your leg workout routine just because you can’t go to the gym. You can perform these exercises in less space and without any equipment. Make sure you maintain proper form while working out and start slow. Don’t strain your body if you’re just a beginner. Remember, quality matters, not quantity.
