BEST EXERCISE FOR STRONGER HIPS AND CORE 👊🏾🍑🔥 Pistol squats are an impressive display of strength – literally standing tall on one leg while squatting down and standing back up again. And while they may look cool, mastering the movement requires a lot of dedication and practice. But if you are having difficulty with pistol squats, don’t despair! There are some effective progressions that can help you build strength in your hips and core so you can better execute the move. 𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟭 - Let’s start with the most basic progression: Chair Pistol Squats. For this exercise you’ll need a chair or bench to support you. 📍Start by standing in front of the chair. Bend your left knee and push your hips back, slowly lowering yourself until your butt touches the chair. 📍At the same time, be sure to keep your right leg straight and extended, hovering above the ground. 📍Hold this position for a second while squeezing your glutes and core and slowly pushing yourself back up with BOTH feet to the starting position. ⭐️ Do 10 repetitions on this side before switching legs and repeating the move. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟮: This time start with both feet on the ground while standing in front of the chair. 📍Slowly lower yourself down until you’re seated. 📍Next, while picking your right leg up and extending it, lift yourself up by your left leg. 💡As you get used to this movement, you can make it more challenging by going down and up with one leg, adjusting your distance from the chair or adding dumbbells for added weight resistance. ⭐️ These exercises are designed to strengthen your hips and core so that you can eventually perform pistol squats confidently and successfully. So keep up with them and have patience as you master this challenging movement. 💪🏿🔥 #reels #instareels #momsofinstagram #hips #mobility #core #coreexercises #legday #oneleg #squats #dtsp #damonreio #bodyweight #gym #athome #bodyweight #pistolsquat #pistolsquats
