Who it’s for: Beginners and anyone training their legs at home with no equipment.
All the main lower-body patterns with nothing but your bodyweight and a wall: squats, reverse lunges, glute bridges, a wall sit and calf raises. Each exercise runs for 40 seconds with 20 seconds to change over, three rounds through, with a minute’s rest between rounds.
Without weights, tempo is what makes it work: lower slowly, for around three seconds, on the squats and lunges, and squeeze at the top of every bridge. Hold a wall or chair for balance on the lunges if you need to. When three rounds feel comfortable, add a fourth.
What the session involves
- A 3-minute warm-up
- Five bodyweight exercises, 40 seconds on and 20 seconds off
- Three rounds, with 1 minute of rest between rounds
- A 2-minute walk and stretch
The session
RPE is how hard an effort feels, from 1 (very easy) to 10 (as hard as you can go).
