Single Leg Squat with Support
Equipment
Shift your weight onto your left leg, and raise your right leg off the floor, extending it forward slightly.
Slowly bend your left knee, lowering your body as far as you can without losing balance, ensure your knee doesn't go past your toes.
Pause for a moment at the bottom of the squat, then push through your left foot to straighten your leg and return to the starting position.
Repeat this movement for the desired number of reps, then switch legs and do the same on the other side.
Pro Tip
**Controlled Movements:** One common mistake is rushing through the exercise. Make sure to perform the movement slowly and with control, lowering yourself as far as you can comfortably go, then pushing back up to the starting position. This enhances muscle engagement and reduces the risk of injury. **Keep Core Engaged:** Your core should be tight throughout the exercise. This will help you maintain balance and stability, especially since you're performing the exercise on a single leg. Avoid letting your torso lean too far forward or sideways as this can lead to an incorrect form and potential injury. **
