squats and lunges. also if you get down on all fours, rest on your elbows, and extend one leg over and over that really works out your hamstrings. switch legs and stuff. to work out your calves- this is amazingly effective but hard- stand on the end of a stair with the heels of your feet hanging off the back and rest while your heels go down, then lift yourself up by flexing your calves kind of like standing on your tip toes, but just the upper pads of your feet. so hard!

relies upon on what you propose by potential of "strengthening". cycling (finished precise) will tone leg & butt muscle groups. it won't bulk up leg muscle groups. And on an indoor bike - lots relies upon on the resistance settings. Pedal all day at a low putting & not something will take place. Pedal at a resistance putting too severe & you will rigidity muscle groups you have not utilized in an prolonged, long term. an exterior (genuine bicycle) is a lot extra exciting & a much extra advantageous artwork-out.

Some workout's you can do is to do sqautjumps. those help out your thighs. another workout you can do is to start squating with wieghts. Find out what your max is then do percentages like 70% 80% and so on

walking, lunges and squats. Swimming is another fine all around exercise.

squats, leg curls, and run!
you've gotta do the squats and leg curls with the correct amount of weight.
do it so it's hard! no pain, no gain.
good luck!
