Who This Workout Is For
This routine works for absolute beginners who have learned proper exercise technique and want safe, effective leg training. Start with fewer reps and build confidence. Advanced exercisers can adjust sets and repetitions to match their fitness level. Everyone gets stronger their own way.
Why This Workout Works
These exercises hit all major leg muscles at once. The squat is the king of lower body exercises—it’s a powerhouse move that builds quads, glutes and core strength all in one go, forming the foundation of any solid leg routine. Bulgarian split squats fix muscle imbalances between legs. Glute bridges strengthen your glutes. Lunges improve balance and coordination. Bodyweight training grows muscle just like weights when you use good form and enough reps.
