I need stronger legs

What can I do to get stronger legs? I play soccer and having a fearful and strong strike is a good thing to have. This includes my calfs, thighs, hips, and groin, I guess.

Can anyone give me tips/suggestions on what to do at home or at the gym to get my legs stronger?

 

You could do squats whilst holding some form of weight in both hands, the heavier the weight the better it will train your thighs.
Do you have access to any machine weights at school or a gym? I could advise you further if you did as I'm not too experienced with training your legs with free weights.

 

Just running will help.

 

Go to the gym and ask for the leg press. Start at 250 pounds. Then continue 25 pounds every week. Slow this down after 325 pounds is reached. Then once you get to 400 stop. And just keep it up or try more.

Any other questions? ask.

 

I'd also like to do this. I've just switched positions in rugby to fullback, and kicking is extremely important for this. I'm 14 and don't have much access to weights and equipments, what do I do?

Squats?
Running?
Biking?

 

Leg pressing involves the lower back and its really easy to get injured doing it.

Running involves no weights, and can be done anywhere.

 

This may not help much, but just kick a ball whenever you can.

I spend 1-2 hours a day just booting a ball (Whether at school or home) and it generally helps.

 

Squats and Leg Press will improve your quads but to improve your overall legs you need to do Calf raises alongside Leg press etc;

 

It's so under rated but it's given me the fastest results on my calf's and thighs,
Skipping/Jump rope. Do like 10 minutes of that daily, make sure you have proper footwear

Skipping is such a painful excersise to noobs.

 

I play soccer aswell, im an attacking mid.

I find that running, aswell as bike riding is a good way to maintain my form when season is over..

Thanks for the info guys. Really appreciate it, but is there anything I can do inside the home?

 

1-) Kick Balls into fences
2-) Lunges
3-) Squats
4-) Treadmill

^ For inside/around the home

MSN me moar I can give you a workout schedule.

 

Yes what he said and this might sound pathetic but when watching tv hold your legs in the air throughout the whole time.

 

That's more a core workout.
