+ MOVE + UNILATERAL workout
unilateral movements are one of our favorites.
why?
one you get more bang for your buck. even though you’re intentionally working only working one side, you’re actually working both sides. focusing on working just one side can help improve balance and core stability. which means instead of wasting your time doing 1 million crunches these strength training movements can develop a strong core. unilateral movements force us to stabilize the imbalance of weight. some may even argue that unilateral training is more effective than bilateral training (using both sides) because almost everyone has some degree of muscular imbalance. wait are you saying we aren’t perfect, yes actually far from it! working these single sided movements will not only help us develop strong cores but work the muscles that may get over compensated in daily activities or other variations of movements.
give this 30 minute workout a go. can be scaled easily — by completing less rounds, or cutting back the reps. make sure what you do on one side you match for the other side.
