The key is to perform these exercises at full range of motion from the bottom position.

SQUATS To start with one of the easiest exercises to perform- just hold your hands over your neck. Squat down, then stand up with full force to lift them until you feel your thighs and upper legs burn.

STEP UP ON A PLATFORM Grab a step near you and set it level with your knees. Walk up it one stair at a time, and lift up your knees as high as you can- this is called a step up.

SIDE BAR WALKS Pick up a barbell and hold it on your shoulders- then lean out for a few reps. Walk to the side bar, and step down- then repeat for several seconds- repeating these motions with a light weight and a heavier weight will work your legs.

LUNGES These are an excellent exercise for working your whole leg, thighs and glutes- stand with a very light weight in your hands, close your back leg on the floor- and start to bring your front leg forward- make sure that you are keeping your back leg straight and push your hips forward- with each step, you can raise your front knee up towards your chest until you feel a burn on your quads- it’ll be difficult, but as the weight gets heavy the burn intensifies.
