Pistol Squat

How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

1. 01Stand on one leg with the opposite leg extended forward and the arms reaching out for balance.
2. 02Brace the trunk and begin sitting the hips down while allowing the working knee to bend and travel over the toes.
3. 03Lower as deeply as control and ankle mobility allow, keeping the heel grounded and the free foot off the floor.
4. 04Maintain knee alignment and an upright enough torso to keep balance at the bottom.
5. 05Drive through the whole working foot to stand tall, using a support or reduced depth if needed.
