Squats are quite simply one of the best lower body and core exercises you can do.
Pistol squats are possibly the greatest, and most difficult variation. They look simple, but lowering your butt all the way to the floor while balancing on one leg can be exetremely challenging for most.
It might take you a while to work your way up to doing a true pistol squat using only your own bodweight, and you can start by rolling at the bottom to use momentum to help you up while you build the strength.
Here's a link to a how to pistol squat video I made on Youtube:
Seriously try to start including these in your leg or total body workout. Use them in the Dark Knight or the Arkham Asylum Prison workout available below.
Become a pistol squat beast, and not only will your legs become CRAZY strong, but you'll also burn a TON of calories in the process. Seriously.
(And after doing them in the Arkham Asylum workout I did this morning, I could BARELY shoot this video. Serious jell-o legs now :P)
