CHOOSE A SIDE

Exercising one side of the body at a time may seem like a great way to drag out the length of your workout, but single-sided moves – also known as unilateral exercises – have a lot to offer. Studies show that these moves can help increase muscular balance, improve core engagement and even assist in injury rehabilitation. Sure, they may feel like a step back to basics but sometimes we all need to focus on the areas that will help us to build stronger fitness foundations. So, rather than working on ‘How much can I squat?’, you could pay attention to ‘How can I optimise my performance whilst lowering my risks of injury’. Training with unilateral movements can accomplish this and so much more.
