Going to the gym is not always necessary you know. You may think you need expensive gym equipment or membership to build muscles and workout effectively, but there are other exercises you can do, especially if you want to improve on your leg muscles. With that in mind, here are 4 exercises that will have you building muscle and look better in no time.
1. Walking and Running Long Distances
You don’t need necessarily a treadmill, just your God-given legs and a good pair of shoes are all you need. Look at runners and cyclists; they’re not doing the spot training, they do cardio. Most of the athletes you see have amazing ab muscles even though they are not doing a bunch of crunches. Why? Because their diet plans are on point and they have an amazing amount of calorie expenditure in their cardio exercises.
2. Do squats and squat jumps
Squats is definitely one of the best workouts you can do. It’s easy to progress to more difficult versions over time; and at a time being, works to perfect your form for the best results or outcomes.
You can also do the squat jump. With your feet hip-width apart, squat until your thighs are parallel to the floor, and then jump as high as you can. Allow your knees to bend 45 degrees when you land, pause in a deep squat position for 1 full second, and then jump again.
3. D
Push-ups work your chest, shoulders, triceps, and core for a complete muscle-building exercise. They’re a major deal, so don’t neglect them.
To do: Place your hands on the ground slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and lower yourself until your chest almost touches the floor. Squeeze your glutes together and tense your abs as you lower and raise your body. Keep your elbows close to your sides to protect your shoulders.
If you can’t do a push-up, it’s easy to modify doing the same movement with your knees bent slightly and remaining on the floor or work up to push-ups by starting on an incline. Use the same technique above against a wall. Place your hands just beyond shoulder-width on a wall, tighten core and press up and lower back to the floor.
4. Side Lunge
Stand with your feet about twice shoulder-width apart. Keeping your right leg straight, push your hips back and to the left. Then bend your left knee and lower your body until your left thigh is parallel to the floor. Your feet should remain flat on the floor at all times. Pause for 2 seconds, and then return to the starting position. Complete all reps and switch sides.

These four-step paths will help out improve your leg muscles. Remember to also consult your doctor before starting any exercise routine.
