Single-Leg Squat
The single-leg squat is also known as the pistol squat. It is a challenging variation that can help you improve balance, mobility, and strength. Targeted muscles include the inner thigh, core, glutes, and quads. Start by standing with both arms in front of the body and feet together. Lift up one foot and keep it in front of the body with a straight leg. Squat down on the other leg until the thigh and the ground are parallel. Return to the initial position and do the same thing with the opposite leg. In case you cannot squat fully, consider having a chair behind the body. It is advisable to try the single-leg squat only when you have done the bodyweight squat properly. [5]
