This leg exercise is best for your hamstrings, glutes, and quads. Stand straight with your feet apart – keep them as wide as your hip. Now, lower yourself on your knees by bending them. Keep your back straight, chin up and chest up. Keep doing till your thighs are parallel to the ground. Hold for few seconds, and then come back to your original position.

Repeat ten times in sets of three.

This exercise, too, targets your quads, glutes, and hamstrings. Stand straight with your feet apart as wide as your shoulders. Now, put your left foot back and bend both knees to form 90-degrees angles. Then, push back up and come back back to your original position. Repeat ten times with three reps on each side.

  1. Good morning

Good Morning

This leg workout is extremely good for the glutes and the hamstrings. You need to stand with your feet wide apart – as wide as your shoulders. Take your hands behind your head. Now, you need to bend forwards till your upper torso is parallel to the floor. You will start to feel your hamstrings getting stretched a bit. Hold for some time and then go back to your original position. Complete this exercise for ten reps.  

  1. Donkey kick

Donkey Kick

This bodyweight leg exercise is recommended for working out your hamstrings and glutes. You need to first get down on the floor on all fours. Keep your palms and hands under your shoulders and knees on the floor. Lift one leg and take it back behind you so that the sole of the feet points towards the ceiling and the knees are bent. Hold for a few seconds, and then come back to your original position. Repeat ten times on each side.

  1. Pistol Squat

Pistol Squat

This exercise is one of the toughest squat types exercising your hamstrings, quads, and glutes. Follow the normal squat procedure. Once in the squat position, you need to raise one of your legs and take it straight out, right in front of you. Point both your arms out to make things more difficult and tiring. 

  1. Glute bridge

Blute Bridge

A bodyweight leg workout that is great for your glutes and hamstrings, you need to lie down on your back. Keep your knees bend and your feet placed very close to the glutes. Now, you have to take your hip up until the knees, hips, and neck are all in a straight line. Hold for few seconds; return to the original position. Repeat the rep ten times.
