Kettlebell Pistol Squat
Schritt für Schritt
So geht’s
- Begin the exercise by slowly lowering your body into a squat position, keeping your right leg extended in front of you and your left foot flat on the ground.
- Ensure your back is straight and your chest is up as you lower down as far as you can go, ideally until your left thigh is parallel with the floor.
- Push through your left heel to stand back up, keeping your right leg extended the entire time.
- Repeat the same motion for the desired number of reps, then switch to your right hand holding the kettlebell and your left leg extended to balance out the exercise.

Technik-Tipps
The Kettlebell Pistol Squat is a single-leg exercise, so balance is crucial. Start by practicing without a kettlebell, using a wall or chair for support if needed. Gradually add weight as your balance improves. A common mistake is rushing into the exercise with a kettlebell without mastering the balance aspect, which can lead to falls or injuries.
Aim to lower your body until your thigh is parallel to the ground. This ensures you're fully engaging your leg muscles without putting unnecessary strain on your knees. A common mistake is squatting too low or not low enough, both of which can limit the effectiveness of the exercise and potentially lead to injury.
