	The Single Leg Deadlift is a powerful exercise by singling out one leg in the deadlift process. It requires balance and focuses the work on the hamstring and glutes and lower back. This is a great core exercise and will help not only strengthen the posterior chain but bring out the definition of the back of the legs.
Purpose/Focus: Strength, Balance Body Parts Used: Hamstrings, Glutes, Back, Core Difficulty: Medium
