If you’re looking to build lower-body strength without setting foot in the gym, you’re in luck — this dumbbell leg workout can be done from just about anywhere, and targets most of the muscles in your legs. Far from being just an aesthetic goal, strong legs are an important part of building full-body strength and can help maximize athletic performance, whether you’re running a marathon or lifting weights. 

Ready to get started? Grab a set of the best adjustable dumbbells and give this one a go. The workout has been devised by fitness trainer Olivia Ostrom, and involves five different exercises in a traditional resistance-style format, with a short break in between each. As a reminder, if you’re new to exercise, or you’re returning to exercise following an injury, it’s a good idea to check your form with a personal trainer before adding weight to the move.
