At Men's Health, we're using this period as an opportunity to build up our community and share as much useful, positive information as possible. For everyone stuck missing their typical workout routines with gyms and fitness centers closed down, we've done our best to provide as many at-home workout options as possible . But that's just the start. We're also hosting live workout sessions on Instagram with some of our favorite trainers to fill the fitness class-shaped void in your daily routine.
Men's Health fitness director Ebenezer Samuel, C.S.C.S. , creator of the New Rules of Muscle program, hosted the latest session. If you're trying to follow along at home, you'll need some equipmentbut don't worry if you don't have your own personal gym at your disposal. All you need for this killer leg day workout is a surface for elevated squats and some type of load.
"It doesn't matter what that is," says Samuel. "Obviously, that's going to be kind of based on what you have at your house. I tend to recommend a gallon of waterjust something."

Doing the exercises with a load is more effective than moving with just your bodyweight because you'll be tasked with maintaining some level of core responsibility while you work, according to Samuel.
The session is also designed to get you out of just one plane of movement, introducing lateral exercises into your repertoire.
