Leg exercises:

#1 Leg press: Sit and lean back on the pad of a leg press machine set at 45 degrees. Place your feet shoulder-width apart in the middle of the foot platform. Apply pressure equally to the entire soles of both feet and straighten your legs. Extend your legs fully but don't lock them. Inhale and bend your knees so that you slowly lower the platform till it creates an 80-90 degrees angel in your knees. Then return the platform to it's starting position and don't lock your knees at the top

Leg exercises:

#2 Barbell full squat: Stand with a bar resting across your upper traps and shoulders with your hands wider than shoulder-width apart. Place your feet about shoulder-width apart and angle them outward a bit. Pull your shoulders back slightly and contract your lower-back muscles. Take a deep breath and hold it. Drop your hips back and down and slowly bend at the knees, inclining your trunk forward slightly as you descend. Once your thighs are parallel with the floor or just below return in the starting position. Exhale as you pass the halfway point. While doing this look straight ahead.

Leg exercises:

#3 Deadlift: Stand near a barbell with your feet approximately 10 apart. Grasp the barbell with a two-hand overhand grip. Bend your knees, lower your buttocks and keep your back flat. Keeping your head up pull the bar off the floor. The weight should brush against your legs on the way up. As you stand up pull up the bar with you. Stand straight at the top of the movement and let your shoulders roll back into their natural position. Return the bar to the starting position slowly.
