Weekend Challenge: Single Leg Squats
By Radiant Health EditorsPublished: October 17, 2014
Get a noticeable backside fast.
Ready to firm up your glutes? This move will do the trick in a hurry.
Step 1:
Stand upright, holding onto a nearby chair if you need to for balance. Lift one leg up off the floor, raising it about 1-2 feet in the air.
Step 2:
From here, bend the supportive knee and lower yourself as far down to the ground as you can go. Once in the lowest position, pause and then press up again to complete the reps.
Your challenge is to perform five reps on each leg.
Want to extend the challenge?
Perform 6 reps per leg on Monday, 7 reps per leg on Wednesday, and 8 reps per leg on Friday.
