Squat variations can help you target the same muscle groups in different ways, and that's why I love the kickstand squat. It's technically a single-leg squat, as you're using your back leg as a kickstand and placing your weight into your front leg to help isolate it.
Over time, the compound exercise builds stronger legs, including your hips, quads, hamstrings and calves, and loading the kickstand squat will also test balance, mobility and core stability. Some clients even find it easier on their knees than the front squat or back squat.
