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.

And the Eggs Have It!!!

Your body can use 94% of the protein in a whole egg, making it an excellent source of high-quality protein.  Egg protein can help boost muscle strength and development more than other proteins do because of its high concentration of leucine.

One Leg Romanian Deadlift

How to Perform the One-Leg Romanian Deadlift

I love, love, love this move!!!!

Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, your knees slightly bent, your abs tucked in, your shoulders pulled back and your arms at your sides.

Bending at the hips, lower your torso until it’s as close to parallel to the floor as you can get without rounding your back.  Pause, then push with your heel to rise back up. 

I suggest you start with your weakest leg first and perform 3 sets of 10 for each leg. 

For extra credit, this exercise can also be performed with a barbell, two dumbbells, or one dumbbell. Should you try using one dumbbell, hold it in the opposite hand of the leg that is working. 

To Your Health,

Michelle
