My gym has been closed for 5 days now as they move to a new, larger facility and after 3 days, I was getting pretty restless. So I had my regular training partner stop by the house and we found a ledge by the front steps that had the right height to do single legged squats. All I can say is, wow. They are a great exercise and 4 sets of 10 on each leg is enough to reduce most gym rats to whining babies. Add to that my 70 yard long up hill driveway, and you have the perfect place to do hill sprints. I suggest doing the hill sprints first since you will have little chance of being able to do them after the single legged squats.
One of the things we found is that it is going to take a while to develop the balance you need to do them without using your partner for help. That’s OK. I figure it will take about a month of doing them regularly to get the balance down. I also noticed that my left leg is quite a bit stronger than my right leg. So hopefully, these will help even things out, and that should help out my back which I think suffers from the unequal strength. Give em a try, you’ll hate em.
