It's no news to anyone that I love a fitness challenge. So, when I was asked to try out a pistol squat challenge, where I practised the move every day for a week, I jumped at the chance. An opportunity to be competitive with myself and get fitter and stronger in the process? Yes, please.
However, my last squat-related trial (the fearsome shrimp challenge) revealed some gaps in my abilities (ie, it ended in failure - but, we move) so I was intrigued to see if my strength and mobility had improved at all since then. And what better way to test them, than a pistol squat?
