1. Stand on one leg with your toes pointing forward and your other leg extended straight out in front of you slightly above the ground.
2. Fold your arms across your chest or extend them straight out in front for balance. Maintain a straight posture with your head facing forward.
3. Begin to lower your body by bending your standing knee, making sure that knee does not extend past your toes. Your other leg should remain extended in front. Lower yourself slowly as if you are sitting back into a chair.
4. Lower down as far as you can while keeping your balance and a straight back, ideally until your thigh on your standing leg is parallel to the ground.
5. Pause at the bottom of your squat for a moment to maintain control, then press through the heel of your standing foot to raise yourself back up to the starting position. Keep the movement controlled and steady throughout.
6. Repeat the desired number of reps before switching to the other leg.
7. Focus on keeping your core engaged to improve balance and control throughout the exercise.
Note: The Bodyweight Single Leg Squat is a challenging exercise that requires good balance, strength, and flexibility. It's important to perform this exercise in a controlled manner to prevent injury. Beginners may want to start with assisted single-leg squats or simpler variations before progressing to the full bodyweight version.
