Gym Ring Assisted Pistol Jump Exercise Steps

	Start in a standing position, holding the Gym Rings in front of you with your arms slightly bent. Stand on one foot and lower your body into a deep one-legged squat, keeping your weight on your heel. Use the Gym Rings to balance yourself.
	Simultaneously explode up with your legs and pull your body up with the Gym Rings. In midair, straighten your feet.
	Land on the opposite foot and absorb the impact with your leg, dropping down into a deep one-legged squat.
	It is important to absorb the landing impact with your whole body and flow between reps. Failing to absorb the impact will cause added stress on your ankles, knees, and hips.
