Save Hours By Using Proven Exercise Replacements That Suit You
This cheat sheet was created with over 5 decades of certified training experience. Find exercises that work no matter what equipment you have access to or what your training level is.
So you have an amazing workout plan to follow.
You know it will make you stronger and help you to burn fat.
But your niggling back injury doesn’t let you do heavy back squats anymore.
You also don’t have access to a leg press machine so the alternative the program recommends is useless.
Then the cable machine face pulls in workout two won’t work as you can’t possibly fit a cable machine into your garage gym.
You realize you need to find a way to rethink half the program after you try out the program for 2 weeks. But you don’t know where to start or how you’ll find the time to get this done.
I’ve got a simple, but brilliant cheat sheet to help you do just that.
Here’s What This is All About
I had just built my home gym.
And I went through the exact problems I just mentioned.
So what did I do?
I “Googled” ‘leg extension alternatives’ of course!
What I found was a bunch of generic leg exercises. They hadn’t been thought through and some of them even mainly targeted the calf muscles.
So I hit up a friend who’s a personal trainer.
At first, he laughed that I was replacing a leg extension with cycling my legs in the air (as recommended by one article). Then he suggested…
“Why don’t we just create some real exercise alternatives?“
💪 Exercises that target the exact same part of the muscle. Not just the generic muscle group.
🏃♀️ Exercises that use the same plane of motion and movement pattern. i.e. a leg press is not a good replacement for a leg extension…
🏋️ Exercises that involve little to no equipment so people can do them from home or anywhere as they travel.
✅ Exercise alternatives that you can trust.
So that’s what we did for leg extension alternatives. And we turned it into an article with text instructions, videos, and images. It also explained the thinking behind each of these alternatives.
52 articles later we had created an ultimate resource for anyone who wants to find an alternative for almost any exercise.
This Cheat Sheet Saves So Much Time
But we didn’t stop there.
Here’s what we’ve also included:
⏰ Put all 52 exercises in one document with all the alternatives directly beneath them to save you time from needing to reading dozens of articles to get the exercises.
🦵 Categorized each exercise into the main muscle group being used so you can quickly find dozens of exercises for any muscle group you want to focus on.
📋 Sorted them in order of priority so the first alternative is the closest replacement to the original exercise to take the guesswork out for you.
🌎 Included exercise alternatives that either use body weight or very minimal equipment (such as resistance bands) for each exercise so you can still do your workouts anywhere in the world no matter what you have access to.

I Want to Make This a Steal…
Normally this cheat sheet sells for $52 ($1 for each exercise alternative).
In fact, if you were to head over to our website and check out the shop page you would see this sells for $52 to everyone else.
It’s costed thousands of dollars to make.
Each article takes multiple hours to create and the certified personal trainers charge $50 an hour on average.
It should really sell for much more than $52.
But I wanted to give you the chance to get your hands on it at a significant discount, today.
Because you have just joined the Strong Home Gym family I want to make this a no-brainer for you…
On this page only (it actually is this page only), you can save dozens of hours from fretting about exercises you can replace quickly and easily with any equipment you have available.
