Pistol Squat is truly a full lower body workout. This one movement tests your ankle mobility, quadriceps and glute strength, as well as balance and coordination. You can easily practice all variations of this movement, anytime and anywhere. Some of our favourite times to whip out Pistol Squats include cleaning, waiting for the bus, or during long meetings. Step outside of your comfort zone and try a Pistol Squat wherever you are. Level 1 is a basic squat variation, focusing on getting you comfortable with the balance needed to get in and out of squat position.
