1-Legged Squat (Pistol Squat)

Balance on one leg with the other leg extended straight forward. Lower into a deep single-leg squat while extending arms forward for balance, then drive through the heel to stand.

Key points

  • Keep the working foot flat on the floor with weight distributed across heel and midfoot
  • Extend arms and non-working leg forward for counterbalance
  • Descend under control and rise without relying on momentum

Common mistakes

Lifting the heel off the ground or losing balance sideways.
