Hip Flexors/Quads & Single Knee Tuck Handstand

 

Today we are working on a modified Pistol Squats. Why work on these? They help to increase strength and mobility in the hip flexors, and are also a great way to power up the quadriceps. If you can do a full pistol squat, go for it! You can also use a TRX strap for an assisted version. Keep in mind ankle flexion is necessary to get the body all the way down to the floor. Then we’ll work a similar shape upside down as we draw one knee close to the body from our L-Shape Handstand.
