Couldn't leave the house to get to the gym so you thought you had to skip leg day? Think again! This five-move lower body workout can be done just about anywhere as it doesn't require any home gym equipment. Plus, it contains lots of compound movement to help you strengthen multiple muscles in your lower body, so you get more bang for your buck.

For those who aren't a fan of squats - we apologise in advance - as this workout does include different squat variations. Although, we're not that sorry, as they're one of the best exercises for your lower body. Not only does the squat pattern have great carryover to the way that we move in everyday life - like picking something off the floor and sitting down - but a study in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research revealed that squats produced higher levels of testosterone and growth hormone, which means more gains.
