Arms? Legs? Core? Check, check, and check.
Now that it’s Week 2, we’re introducing a few more unilateral exercises into your routines. Unilateral exercises are moves that work a single side of the body at a time instead of both sides . Think lunges versus squats, or single-arm rows versus chest presses.
Lots of trainers love unilateral exercises because they’re so applicable to the real world. Think about it: How often do you have the opportunity to carry perfectly evenly weighted groceries in both hands? Probably not that often! When we’re going about our day-to-day activities, most of us tend to favor our dominant side over the other. All of the above are wonderful examples of how unilateral training—working one side of the body at a time—can be so helpful.
With that in mind, pay attention to your lunging today. Does one side feel easier than the other? Do you notice you can sink a little lower on the right, for example? Or maybe, if you really focus, do you notice you push off on your left foot and use momentum more, rather than engaging your glutes, as you return to your starting position? None of this is “bad,” but it’s helpful to be aware of it so you can give all of your muscles the attention they deserve.
