ONE LEG SQUAT
MUSCLES WORKED: Quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, & calves. Adductors and abductors also involved.
GREAT FOR: Toning bottom and thighs, balance.
TECHNIQUE TIPS: Stand on one foot, other leg free behind you. Chest up and look forward. Bend the knee as your hips push back behind you – you should most of your weight through the heels, rather than the toes. Aim to get your hips as close to the floor as you can whilst maintaining a good posture. You may need to hold on to a support in the initial stages until you feel comfortable in the movement.
