Strengthening legs
Replies

Do some squats and deadlifts with barbells or dumbbells. Also, if you have access to a gym, do some leg presses, extensions, and curls. I do an intense workout of those once a week and my legs are stronger than ever now. It's going to be soreness at first since you're not used to it but stick with it. You'll love the results.1

I walk for exercise and climb stairs (18 floors up & down) but find what lets me down is the strength in my legs especially when climbing stairs. Can anyone advise me how to gain more strength in my legs without going to the gym?
Walk up hill.
Walk on the beach.
Walk through deep snow.
Climb more stairs ... I like to settle in around 25-30 flights of stairs. I'm not quite there right at the moment, but I'm building back up again.
Climb the stairs faster.
Get a bicycle and start cycling.
Cycle up hills.
Got snow?
Get snowshoes!
