Each step comes with a target, and Kolibi tells you when you're ready for the next one.

A forecast for your goal

After four sessions over two weeks you see a time range for reaching it.

Good to know: you add this skill yourself as a skill goal or from the exercise catalog. Your plan doesn't build it in automatically.

Questions

How long does it take to learn the pistol squat?
That depends on where you start and how often you train. Kolibi doesn't promise a date: after four sessions over at least two weeks it shows a time range for your skill goal, based on your own progress.
What equipment do I need for the pistol squat?
No equipment. Your bodyweight and a bit of floor are enough, plus a free wall where a step uses one.
Where do I start with the pistol squat?
With Box Squat, aiming for 8 to 15 reps.
Does Kolibi build the pistol squat into my plan?
Not automatically. Set it as your skill goal or add the steps from the catalog, and Kolibi tracks every step and suggests the next one when you hit your target.
