i’m beginning a body weight training program for about 6 months. I’m gonna be doing pull ups, push ups, bridges, and various abdominal exercises. Is there anything I can do for my legs besides just a squat? In all the the body weight books and programs I only ever see squats, won’t this make me unbalanced?
I do have a 30lb kettlebell that I’m tempted to incorporate.
Squats are some of the best exercises you can do, as they get your glutes, hammies, quads and your abs and lower back to some extent. But you can also do:
- Jump squats
- One legged squats
- Lunges (and walking lunges)
- Box jumps
- Jump rope
with the kettlebell, in addition to squats, you can do:
- cleans
- stiff-legged deadlifts
- swings
