How to do the Pistol Squat Hold

1. Stand tall and lift one leg forward while engaging your core.
2. Sit your hips back and down into a squat on the standing leg, keeping weight through the heel.
3. Reach your arms forward for balance, keep your chest lifted, and hold the position.

Tips

• Lower until the standing thigh is parallel to the floor if mobility allows, keeping the extended leg straight.
• Track the standing knee in line with your toes for joint health.

Adjustments

• Use a smaller range of motion or hold onto a support if you are building up to the full pistol.
