6. Pistol Squat

While the pistol squat is challenging, it is a great addition for those who spend a great deal of time seated at a desk or who want to improve their posture.

The exercise works the lower body and core, but form is very important. Don't get discouraged and try to force yourself lower during the exercise. It is more important to get the extended leg as straight as possible and keep your upper body tall than it is to lower all the way to the ground.
