Given our quarantine at Bentley University, it can become easy to lay in bed or sit at a desk doing work for long periods of time. What gets me up and creates structure in my day is making time to work out. 

 

This workout is sectioned into three sets that focus on each major muscle area in your legs: the glutes, the hamstrings, and the quads. Feel free to do some calf raises to make the full leg workout complete with dumbbells or any weighted instrument you have in your room (for instance, food cans, water bottles, or textbooks for substitutes).
