I'm not too experienced yet, but what I do is some combination of
squats with dumbbells
lunges
lateral lunges
hip thrusts
glute bridges (definitely recommend)
calf raises on a step
I can do all of those at home with just a couple of basic weights I got at a yard sale. I try for two to three times a week. I also do a lot of running, so I avoid super hard leg workouts because I don't want to overtrain and hurt myself. With a gym and less cardio you could probably train a lot harder and mix in deadlifts and fancier types of squats.
any recommendations for good lower body exercises?
Squats
:swole-chonk: hell yeah
