Single Leg Squat

This is one of the hardest exercises that you can do.  If you can develop 1x leg body weight strength then you will be strong.

  • Stand on a box with one foot off to the side.
  • Hold 5-8lb DBs.  These are for balance, not resistance.
  • As you lower into a squat position, slowly raise the arms out at the same time.
  • Work towards getting the thigh parallel to the floor.
  • Use DB's for balance.  Swing the DB's out.
  • Keep weight over your heel.
  • Keep non-lifting leg straight and push back up to start position.
