try running with weights tied to your feet/ankles. Old fashioned jump rope with the weights too. I do it the lazy way (and I've heard Bruce Lee did this as well to stay toned): use electricity (basically simply hook myself up to a variac) to tighten the muscles to just below pain. Pins and needles and mild cramping at the moment, sore the next day.
Biking is amazing as a workout for your legs. It'll definitely leave you sore af.
If the weather around where you live is shit and biking isn't all that feasible atm, a good alternative is spending half an hour to an hour on the elliptical at the gym with the resistance amped up. 👌
If I don't feel like running I do the elliptical. Put it on a high incline and a very high resistance. Burns your legs hahah
Feels so good though.
Maybe a rowing machine too.
Leg extensions, calf raises, leg press, hip abductor/adductor machines.

Stand back up and wall sit for 5 min or as long as possible.Yeah, do three sets of squats to 'Flower' by Moby. The song will tell you when to go up or down... it leaves you in the down position for a lot of the time... it's more fun if you do it with a friend, or friends...
Try pyramiding. Jumping squats. Box jumps. Pistons. Skateboard squats. Negatives. Heavy sets. Power training. I can come up with a million more. you're young. Whats your goal and whats your current routine?
the ten minute morning killer. each for one minute straight no breaks. calf raises, lateral jumps. alternate single leg jumps. squats, lunges, squat and thrusts, reverse lunges. lateral jumps. I do that in the morning on leg days
Leg presses, kick outs with either ankle weights or using a cable that's attached to a machine.
Get sick
Whole body fat will reduce😄
It's fine don't thank meI'd say running is still the best and healthiest way. Find new locations and places for diversity or run with a friend or in a group.
Front squats, deadlift, burpees with a jump, jump rope
You realize soreness isn't a sign of progress, right?
Use an ab wheel, but instead of engaging your abs, engage your butt.
Try wall sits... Careful tho, your legs might start to ignite...
