Hello fellow GB resident!


When I miss the gym on leg day (rare, but it happens) I find random junk around the house that is a shape you can hold (and decent weight)and do lunges, or squats. I'm also a cyclist though so that's usually a good one for legs if you're so inclined...

Why for no gym for 2 months? That would drive me up the wall. I've hurt my leg so may not be able to go at all this week and that's enough to send me a little nuts!

I train at home. I don't know if you already have weights, but that would be a major help. I have dumbells that I use for all my exercises. You can do squats, lunges, step ups, dead lifts ... all at home as long as you have weights.

This website is very helpful to find out what exercises can be done with dumbells http://www.exrx.net/Lists/Directory.html

Good luck !

well, we're opening the gym so my hubby is so busy around that. AS we have little baby(18months)after full time work and taking care of baby I don' have much time left to go and train.
SO until gym opens I'm stuch in doors to train when baby sleeps.But I don't let this to knock me down. But it is hard.

I workout at home too and rely on stuff like squats, deadlifts, good mornings, plie squats, and various types of lunges on leg day. There are other things I do too, but the above exercises are the cornerstone to every leg workout for me. Just make sure you get heavy enough weights that you're able to challenge yourself.

Wall sits are great too.... hold for 1-2 minutes and your legs should be screaming.

I do all my workouts at home using dumbells, barbells and free weights.

You could do any of these:

Squats & Good Mornings (I have my boyfrined spot the barbell up to my shoulders since I can't lift that much over my head. If you don't have a spotter strong enough, you could do hack squats instead.)

Straight Leg Dead Lifts

One Legged Squats

Any variety of lunges

Calf Raises (use a wooden block or book to elevate yourself a bit for range of motion)

Laying Abductor & adductor lifts (you can do these without weight or get some ankle weights)

Hope that helps!
