Kettlebell Pistol Squat

Stand on one leg while holding a kettlebell at chest level for balance. Extend the opposite leg straight forward off the ground. Keeping your chest up and core tight, slowly lower your body by bending the standing knee while pushing your hips back. Descend as low as possible while maintaining control and balance. Pause briefly at the bottom, then drive through your heel to return to a standing position. Keep your movement slow and controlled, avoiding knee collapse or rounding of the back.
