Leg Day!

Leg Workout 
You don't HAVE to do it all in one day, but I like to. 
It's an intense workout, and if you're not feeling it while you're doing it, 
ADD MORE WEIGHT

SQUATS
(I always use barbell, dumbbells or the bar)
Bulgarian Squats
Regular Squats
Bulgarian Split Squats
Sumo Squats

LUNGES
(medicine ball or dumbbells or a plate if you're brave!)
Forward Lunges
Backward Lunges
Side Lunges

Deadlifts
(Use dumbbells, bar, or barbells)
Romanian Deadlifts
Stiff Legged Deadlifts

Leg press machine
- I also do calf raises on this -

Leg Extensions
Step Ups
Resistance Bands (feel the burrrrrn)

The elliptical on high resistance is also my leg day friend, 
along with the stair master for 20-30 minutes. 
Walk on a STEEP incline at a decent past for some booty work!
Remember, don't hold onto the rails while doing any cardio, 
it lessens the work on your legs!

You don't have to do it all, or even all in one day. 
I like to superset my workouts, which is defined as 
"a combination of one exercise performed one right
 after another with no rest in between" 

Example: 8 sumo squats followed by 8 bulgarian squats on each leg (done 4 times)

Disclaimer: I'm no pro, I do not know everything. But this is what I do and this is what works for me. So give it a shot or find what works for you. Again, www.bodybuilding.com is a great site to find workouts for people of all abilities.
