Looking for some new lower body exercises to mix up my workout. Any suggestions? Especially from ladies!

Squats and deadlifts :flowerforyou:

My leg day always starts with heavy back squats.
Then front squats and RDL. Then i either do BB reverse lunges or the leg press machine.
I've been meaning to add back in some BB hip thrusts too.

I do the BB back squats in the strength range 4x3-5 reps.
Everything else is 2-3 sets of 8-12 reps.

If you're used to doing squats and deadlifts, lunges and split squats make a nice change. BB glute bridges and hip raises are good too (google Bret contradas, if you've not heard of them). Also, good mornings, give a nice wee burn if you've not done them for a while.

My favorite slightly less common leg exercises:

One-legged deadlifts (improves your balance and core)
Sumo or wide-stance squats
Side lunges
Normal lunges - short steps work your quads, long steps work your glutes and hamstrings. Try doing the opposite of what you've been doing

Squats, both front and back, deadlifts, calf raises and box jumps.

I do back squats, front squats or curtsy squats, deadlifts, straight leg deadlifts, calf raises, weighted step ups, weighted donkey kicks and sometimes glute bridges.

Her donkey kicks are spectacular

Lol, do you remember the pic I posted doing them with a kettlebell jammed on my foot!?
