Single Leg Squat
1
From a standing position, raise one foot off the ground. You should be looking directly forward, with your chest up, knees and hips slightly bent, and your back straight.
2
Descend into a squat by flexing your hips and knee. As you squat, extend the non-working leg forward to allow clearance for your movement. Descend slowly, paying close attention to balance and proper movement mechanics, going as far as your flexibility allows. Hold this position for a second.
3
Return to the starting position by extending through the hips and knee, driving through the heel of your working foot. Repeat the exercise according to the training plan then switch legs.
