Beginner Workout For Legs

Bodyweight squats are a great beginner workout for strengthening the thighs, hips, and buttocks. To begin, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and place your hands behind your head. Flex your knees and hips, beginning to sit back with your hips as if taking a seat. Continue down to the maximum depth that you can comfortably achieve and reverse the motion until you are back in the starting position.

When you squat remember to keep your head and chest up, and your knees pushed out. Attempt three sets of twenty to thirty reps. If that seems too easy, try them while holding dumbbells in your hands.
