The Single Leg Squat is an excellent exercise to work the lower extremity and core. Keeping your head straight ahead and maintaining an erect torso lower your body into the squat position extending your non-weight-bearing leg in front of you. As your thigh becomes parallel with the ground, slowly push yourself back up to the starting position. To increase the difficulty, barbells may be held in each hand while performing the exercise.
Major Muscles Involved: Quadriceps, Hamstrings, Gluteals, Hip adductors, Hip abductors
