Here are the best options. To do a leg extension at home without the machine, it’s best to use resistance bands or ankle weights and a chair. Bodyweight exercises like squats, lunges and wall sits target the quadriceps like a leg extension but also the glutes and hamstrings. Weight benches and cable machines can also be used

No leg extension machine? No problem! Work your quads with this old-school alternative. All you need is a dumbbell and a weight bench or chair. Place a mat under the dumbbell so that, if you drop the weight, you won’t damage the floor.
