How to do Pistols | Technique Tuesdays | Jonesn4CrossFit | San Antonio, Texas

Welcome to Technique Tuesday with Shelby Jones! The pistol, or single leg squat, exercise is great for developing mobility, strength and balance, while working on your squat. Starting on the ground, you'll want to brace your body. Let your squat leg get steady & lift the opposite leg off the ground, and then start your motion. Do your best to keep your whole foot down to ensure balance. The movement starts with the knee and the hip at the same time. You'll perform the squat while bracing your core. Once the lift foot touches the floor, you'll squat back to your starting position. If this exercise is too difficult for you, try using a smaller object. If it's too easy, try using a higher object. As always, if you guys have any questions on this exercise, drop them in the comments below! ► Subscribe to My Channel Here: http://bit.ly/2snBvii ___________ Follow Me Online Here: Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/jonesn4crossfit Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/JonesN4CrossFitTX Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/JonesN4Crossfit Website: http://www.jonesn4crossfit.com
