Pistol Squat to Box
Equipment
Slowly begin to lower your body by bending the knee of your standing leg, keeping your other leg extended straight out.
Continue to lower yourself until your buttocks touch the box or bench, ensuring your standing foot remains flat on the floor and your extended leg does not touch the ground.
Push through the heel of your standing foot to raise your body back to the starting position, keeping your other leg extended throughout the movement.
Repeat the exercise for the desired number of reps, then switch legs and perform the same steps.
