Beginner-friendly home workout for strong legs

If you're a beginner looking to strengthen your legs at home, try this workout! All you need is something heavy to hold in your hands. I'm using a sandbag, but you could use a heavy book, a milk jug, or anything else!

1. Reverse lunges: 3 sets of 15 reps (per leg)

- Hold the weight at your chest

- Step back into a lunge, squeezing your core to stay balanced

- Try to have your legs at 90° at the bottom

- Push through your front foot to stand back up

2. Squats: 3 sets of 20-30 reps

- Keeping your chest up, hold the weight to your chest

- Sit down into a squat position, keeping weight in your heels

- Make sure you start by bending at the hip, not just knees

- Push hard to stand back up

3. RDLs (romanian deadlifts): 2 sets of 15 reps

- Start with holding the weight naturally at your thighs

- Push your hips backward, pretending you're closing a door with your booty

- Keep your torso flat and squeeze your glutes

- Stand back up by pushing your hips forward

4. B-stance RDLs: 2 sets of 10 reps (per leg)

- These are similar to the regular RDLs

- The only difference is that you should keep your weight in only one leg, and bend the other leg so that your foot is like a "kickstand" for balance

- You can hold the weight in both hands or one hand, whichever is more comfortable
