I love working with kettlebells, barbells, and dumbbells, but this 20-minute leg workout builds strength and muscle in your quads, glutes, and hamstrings without weights. If you want to train using your body weight at home, this home leg workout is 20 minutes well spent.

Chris Heria, creator of the calisthenics app Thenx, created this 20-minute home leg workout to help you build muscle with only your body weight and no need for the gym or weights. If you want to add resistance to your muscles, we recommend the best adjustable dumbbells for weightlifting at home to spice things up.
