One Leg Squats – Bodyweight Calisthenics Video
One Leg Squats are very challenging and test not only your leg strength… but your balance and coordination as well. I challenge anyonw who thinks bodyweight exercises are “too easy” to give these a try. Plus, you will immediately identify lower body imbalances that you might not normally know exist when doing squats with both legs at a time.
Here is a video of one leg squats:
When you are ready to organize your bodyweight exercises into a progressive program specifically designed to improve fitness, burn fat and build an attractive, athletic body, here are some recommendations:
Option 1:

I do not think most people realise just how important the squat really is. It is most likely the most effective muscle building compound exercise out of all of them. Most people begin using far too much pounds when they first start squatting, this is a bad idea. Lift a weight were you are capable to carry out 10 reps, when you are lifting at this weight you can completely concentrate on good form, learning how to execute squats with good form is going to avoid incidents when you begin placing more pounds on the bar. Also to help avoid further injuries from occurring, make sure that your knees are moving directly over the top of the toes. I hope these suggestions help!
