This is off season although I lift weights year round. I have been doing that consistently since 1977. I like to go to a well equipped gym with a lot of energy and trainers. I looked over the beginner program rkwaki sent me and incorporated some of the exercises into my leg routine.

Tonight was one set each except for the jumping.
Warmup on the eliptical
Leg presses in leg press machine
Pushup position with feet on a large ball and lift one leg at a time 1/2 inch off the ball while keeping back straight. Sounds easy but try it.
One leg squats - I use the TRX for balance and squat down with my back straight and drive with the glute. I do not let my knee go forward.
One arm kettlebell swings - I try to drive the core forward explosively and let the momentum of the thrust forward swing the weight up to shoulder level.
Turkish getups - One of my favorites.
Jumps over a bench. This is done by starting with one foot on a bench and jumping high into the air over the bench and landing like a cat with the other foot on the bench.
Wall Sit - Sit against the wall with the legs at 90 degrees
Romanian split squats. These are hard for me for some reason. Go figure.
Foam roller and stretching.
