What are the leg training exercises for calisthenics?

Many people often forget to train their legs when training. In fact, the strength of the legs also plays an important role in our whole body, and many of our movements require the use of our legs. Leg training is generally divided into equipment and freehand training. So do you know what are the methods of freehand fitness leg training? Let’s go take a look below!

Squat jumps

Standing with feet hip-width apart, squat as low as possible and explosively stand up while jumping your knees toward your chest. As you become more comfortable with the movement, focus on speed to get your heart rate up and your legs pumping. 8 reps per set, a total of 3 sets, resting 45 seconds between each set.

Deep side stabbing

Stand with your legs wider than hip-width so you can stand astride. The longer your legs are, the wider your stance will be. Lean toward your left leg and bend it down as far as possible. Your ultimate goal should be to get the back of your leg hitting your calf, but don't stress too much if you're not there. As you stand back up to the starting position, squeeze your glutes and lean toward your right leg. It can not only exercise leg strength, but also exercise your leg flexibility. 8 reps per set, a total of 3 sets, resting 45 seconds between each set.

Pistol squat

Stand on one leg with the other leg extended straight in front of you. Lower yourself onto one leg as if you were sitting on a chair. Concentrate on reaching as far down as possible, trying to bring the back of your leg into contact with your calf muscles, stand up, and repeat on the other side. This is a great balance exercise. 8 reps per set, a total of 3 sets, resting 45 seconds between each set.
