@elizabethpersonaltrainer: Pistol squats are an excellent single-leg strength and mobility exercise because they combine strength, balance, coordination, and control all in one movement. Build unilateral leg strength — each leg has to handle the majority of the load independently, helping expose and correct side-to-side differences. * Strengthen the quads & glutes — especially through a deep range of motion. * Challenge hamstrings and hip stabilizers — your non-working leg being extended increases the demand on the working hip. * Improve ankle mobility — you need substantial ankle dorsiflexion to keep your heel down while getting deep. * Improve hip mobility — the deep squat position requires good hip flexion and control. * Develop balance & proprioception — you’re constantly controlling your center of mass over one foot. * Improve knee control — performed properly, they teach you to keep the knee tracking over the foot rather than collapsing inward. * Build strength through a deep range of motion — useful for developing control where many people are weakest. * Core involvement — your trunk has to stabilize while your leg is moving independently. * Great functional carryover — getting up from low positions, stepping, hiking, climbing, and other single-leg activities. #squats #gym #Fitness #fyp #fypシ
