You might think that the only way to build lower body strength is a long session with weights machines at the gym. Fortunately, you can switch the gym for home workouts and still get results with this five-move routine. 

Doing the same exercises on a regular basis but progressively increasing the weight is one of the most common ways to build strength, and you can do this with just a pair of dumbbells.
