The Ultimate Total Body Movement


The One Legged Squat AKA The Pistol

This move is a test of your strength and balance.  A very difficult exercise, but oh so worth it!!!!
Stand with arms extended out in front. Balance on one leg with opposite leg extended straight leg forward as high as possible.  

Squat down as far as possible while keeping your one leg elevated off the floor.
 

During the move, extend your arms forward to help keep your weight balanced. 
 

Keep your base foot flat.  Don’t  roll forward on your toes because the shift in your weight could cause you to twist and injure your knee.   

Raise your body back up to the original position until the knee and hip of your supporting leg is straight.  

Continue with opposite leg.
