1) KettleBell Squats: Set: 3 Reps: 10.

This exercise is great for working all the leg muscles, especially the QUADRICEPS.

How to do it:

1) Grab hold of a kettlebell with two hands and with an overhand grip (hold the Kettlebell just in front of you, with arms fully extended), with your feet shoulder-width apart.

2) Bend your knees and lower your body as though sitting on a short stool, stopping when your Quads/thighs are parallel to the floor.

3) Slowly stand back up with control to the starting position. Note: This is a great exercise, and if you feeling super energetic, try jumping kettlebell squats. wherein phase 3) instead of slowly standing back up, explosively jump up and land with control

2) KettleBells Single Leg Deadlift: Set: 3 Reps: 20 (10 on each leg) 

This exercise gives your HAMSTRINGS the proper workout it needs, and it also works your core which means you are working on those abs without you even knowing it!! Happy days (if you are looking for a quick but effective ab workout, check out my article on the five best ab exercises before bed).

How to do it:

1) stand holding one Kettlebell in one hand (say right hand) standing with your feet hip-width apart, legs straight. Hold the Kettlebell in front of the same leg you are holding the Kettlebell with (right leg).

2) then lift your opposite leg (left leg) slightly off the ground; from here, lift your leg upwards while simultaneously bringing your torso/chest forward; your body should stay in line until both your leg and chest are parallel to the floor, Kettlebell will be lowered towards the floor as you go through this movement.

3) when your back and leg are straight, return to the start position.

Notes: if you want to make this exercise a little harder (go on challenge yourself ), keep your foot (your working leg) off the ground as you work through your reps.

3) Kettle Bells Swings Sets 3 Reps: 10

This exercise will shock your LEG muscles into growth.

How to do it:

1) Getting Set, stand with your feet hip-width apart, knees slightly bent, and hold the Kettlebell between your legs, with both hands and an overhand grip.

2) The Swing, Keeping a 45-degree arch in your lower back, bend your hips back up until the Kettlebell is behind (and between) your legs, and swing the Kettlebell up till it is parallel to your forehead (legs and back straight as Kettlebell reaches forehead).

3) Bringing it back, let the Kettlebell naturally swing back down between and behind your legs (if it touches your bum slightly when it comes down, your doing it right!!); when the Kettlebell is coming down, arch back to 45 degrees again while bending your knees and hips back (so basically go back to the start position), this is one rep. Then repeat immediately until all reps are completed.

Note: these exercises are actually good for your back as well, as they strengthen the muscles in your back, so that’s one less worry for your later year (I’m always looking for new ways to keep you fit & healthy!!)

4) KettleBells Calf Jumps: Sets: 3 Reps: 20.

3) as you land, allow your knees to bend 45 degrees; this is one rep.

Note: once you are back in the starting position, immediately jump up again, do not pause until all reps are completed.

So if you’ve been looking for the best home leg exercises, look no further!

As these require minimal space and will work every part of your lower body.

All that is required is a kettlebell (the more weight you want on the Kettlebell, the more the price goes up, for me, these are the all-around best kettlebells around, based on quality, price, and practicality).

These 4 Exercises can be done within 15 minutes and is a great quick workout if you’ve had a busy day and want to give your legs a good workout.

So have no fear if you can’t get to the gym, do leg day at home.😉

Top Tip: start with a 16 KG Kettlebell as this is a good starter weight for men; women go for a 12 KG Kettlebell.
