If you’re looking for a lower-body routine that builds strength, stability, and serious leg burn—all with just a mini band—this one’s for you! This is the exact leg workout I did today, and it’s perfect whether you’re at home, traveling, or squeezing in a quick session at the gym.


Mini bands add resistance without taking up space, making every movement a little tougher and a lot more effective. Ready to feel those legs fire up? Let’s go!

The Workout


1. Reverse Lunges


A great move to warm up your hips and strengthen your quads, hamstrings, and glutes. Step back with control and keep your front heel grounded.

2. Lateral Squats


Target your inner and outer thighs while improving hip mobility. Keep the mini band around your thighs to increase resistance as you sit into each side.

3. Squats


A staple for building lower-body power. Focus on pushing your knees out into the band to engage your glutes even more.

4. Split Squats


Single-leg training at its best. This move challenges balance and builds strength evenly on both sides.

5. X-Out + Knee Drive


Step out into an “X” stance, then drive the knee up toward your chest. This combo brings in core stability and hip strength.

6. X-Out + Lateral Step


A powerful side-to-side move that keeps constant tension on the glutes. Perfect for shaping the outer hips and improving lateral strength.

7. Donkey Kicks


Finish strong with a glute-focused burner! Keep the band around your thighs and press your heel toward the ceiling.
