Pistol Squat to Box

Expert Advice

Use a box at a height that allows you to maintain balance and form. Progress to a lower box as you get stronger.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Stand in front of a box with one leg extended out in front of you.
  2. Slowly lower yourself down onto the box using only your standing leg.
  3. Touch the box with your glutes, then press through your heel to stand back up.
  4. Keep your extended leg straight throughout the movement.
  5. Complete all reps on one leg before switching to the other leg.
