Single-leg Squats

One of the best strength builders ever devised for the legs is the single-leg squat. At first, it’s a very difficult exercise to master, but once you do, you’ll LOVE IT!

Why is it so good? First, it uses muscles that you never use in a regular squat, including core and stabilizing muslces. It also gives you great balance and flexibility. Finally, it gives you an explosiveness that you won’t get from regular weight training exercises.

Plus, if you do it right (slow on the way down – and go all the way down – and explosive on the way up), you’ll build some great leaps. You’ll feel a sensation that you’ve never felt before after you do a set of ten of these!

At first, you will want to hold onto something for stability, but after a few sessions of these, you’ll be able to do them like the guy in the illustration.
