Forget squats — all you need is one dumbbell and these three moves for bigger legs

Man lunging with dumbbell

Strengthening our lower body is super important, but, when it comes to this, glutes are often king. But building your legs should also be a priority, however, one reason you may avoid it is because you don’t like squatting. We get it, there’s those who love them and others who don’t. Some even find them painful. If you’re the latter then we’ve got you and have three exercises that will help build and strengthen your legs with one single dumbbell.

We can’t ignore the fact that our legs play a huge role in our everyday lives — they’re what help us walk, stand and do other physical activities. They even play a role in upper exercises you may enjoy doing, like bench pressing. Also, by avoiding them, you’re actually increasing your risk of injury too, such as lower back pain, ALC injuries and a lack of mobility.
