Squats to lunges: 8 must-try exercises for sexy, toned legs

A classic yet indispensable exercise, squats engage your quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes.

Lunges target multiple leg muscles while enhancing balance and stability.

Step onto a platform with one leg, then bring the other leg up, and step back down.

Not just for your back, deadlifts engage your entire lower body.

Stand a few feet away from a bench and place one foot behind you on the bench; lunge with your front foot.

Use a calf raise machine or simply stand on the edge of a step or platform, rise onto your toes, and lower back down.

Press your back against a wall and slide down as if sitting in an imaginary chair.

This exercise targets your quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes with controlled resistance.
