Balance and stabilizing muscles strength are my biggest weaknesses and I'm having a very difficult time overcoming them, especially when it comes to doing pistols. I cannot even go into a squat without my leg buckling out from under me.

I know many people who are out of shape and can't even do pull ups do hangs until they get their strength up, so my question is, is there some sort of intermediate motion I can use to build my strength and balance up in order to do pistols?
