Single-leg squat

The squat is a great move to target the bottom and legs all over, but have you ever tried a single-leg squat? The balance aspect of this move throws in a little curveball that not only makes the move a little more interesting but also way more challenging, especially for the core and stability muscles in the body.

You can start the move with a half-squat rather than a full one, or even while holding onto a TRX or resistance band attached to a bar or frame. If you do this, try not to use the support of the TRX or band too much; it might only be the very bottom of the move that you need the extra help.

Instructions
Stand on one leg with the other raised slightly in front of you.
Bend at the hip and knee of the standing leg, lowering your bottom towards the floor and out behind you.
Go as low as possible then push back up through the heel to the start and repeat.
Perform 5 reps on one leg before moving on to the next.

Top tips:
Keep your chest up and shoulders back, keeping a strong, flat back throughout.
Keep the heel of your standing leg planted throughout.
Keep your knee in line with your toe.
