Equipment
Lift one foot off the ground, keeping your balance on the other foot, this will be your starting position.
Slowly lower your body by bending the knee of your standing leg, while keeping your other leg straight in front of you for balance, continue this motion until your thigh is parallel with the ground.
Pause for a moment at the bottom of the squat, then push through your heel to return to the starting position.
Repeat the exercise for your desired number of reps, then switch legs and perform the same number of reps on the other side.
Pro Tip
**Avoid Going Too Low**: It's important not to squat too low during this exercise. Your thigh should be parallel to the ground at the bottom of the squat, with your knee directly above your foot. Squatting lower than this can put unnecessary strain on your knee and could potentially lead to injury. **Controlled Movement**: The movement during a one leg squat should be slow and controlled. Avoid rushing the exercise or using momentum to
