The Ring Side Squat utilizes gymnastics rings to perform a one-legged squat with the non-working leg extended to the side. This exercise primarily targets the quadriceps and helps develop balance, coordination, and unilateral strength.

How to do it

  2. Lower your body into a squat on the supporting leg, keeping your chest up and back straight.
  3. Pause at the bottom position while maintaining balance.
  4. Push through the heel of the supporting foot to return to the starting position.
  5. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions, then switch sides.
