Exercises to strenghten the legs

  1. Run! Simply the best exercise. Strengthens trunk and legs together. Try running exercises such as steps backwards, sideways, changes of direction, stairs and uphills. Watch out for small injuries (stings) that suddenly become large. The workout ends when the legs are still rested.
  2. One leg bounces. The famous hopscotch. Improves explosiveness, strength and stabilizing function of muscles. Try changes in direction back and forth left right and diagonal. Watch the landing. Be as smooth as possible (good shoes and soft ground).
  3. Ride your bike. The classic! It works specific areas of the leg like quadriceps and calves but it does it very well. Also, when it's not static, it puts you in touch with nature!
  4. Bounces from lunge position. From a lunge position you jump, switch forward with the back foot in the air and land again in a lunge position. Try to do it as fast as possible. Make sure the leg opening is not too wide at first.
  5. Deep squats against the wall. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your back straight against the wall. Bend your knees until you achieve a right angle between your calves and buttocks. Be careful to put all your body weight back on your heels, so that you don't stress your knees but your leg muscles. Think of yourself as trying to sit in an invisible chair. Stand up and repeat 20 times. Ideally, fix one or two pillows between your legs and try to press them during.
