Pistol Squat

1 - Stand upright on one foot with your arms extended straight out in front of you for balance.
2 - Extend the non-working leg straight out in front of you, keeping it elevated off the ground throughout the movement.
3 - Engage your core and slowly lower your body down by bending the standing knee, pushing your hips back as if sitting into a chair.
4 - Continue lowering until your glutes are as close to your heel as possible, keeping your chest upright and your extended leg parallel to the floor.
5 - Drive through your heel to press yourself back up to the starting position, keeping the non-working leg elevated.
6 - Maintain control throughout the entire range of motion, avoiding any lateral knee drift.
7 - Complete all reps on one leg before switching to the other side.
