UNILATERAL TRAINING- working one side of the body independently of the other
Why incorporate into your training plan?
✅ Helps to address strength imbalances
✅ Improves stability
✅ Enhance overall muscle symmetry
✅ Engages smaller stabilising muscles and challenges core stability more effectively than bilateral exercises
✅ Supports injury prevention
Some exercises to try
✅ Single Leg Squats
✅ Single Leg RDL’s
✅ Lunges
✅ Single Leg Glute Bridges
✅ Single Arm Presses
Start gradually but try and build some of these exercises into your routine
Let me know how you get on and drop me a message if you’d like any further help

Another brilliant group PT session this morning. A great way to train, 30-45 minutes, 2-4 people, split the cost, increase the motivation. Kettlebells, boxing, circuits, Olympic lifting, plyometrics, sports specific s&c. Options for all 👍👍
Increasing load by varying tempo …. In my opinion one of the most underrated and often overlooked variables for manipulating training load
✅ Controlled Muscle Engagement- hopefully leads to better muscle activation and growth
✅ Increased Time Under Tension - slowing down each rep increases the time the working muscles are under tension enhancing hypertrophy and strength gains
✅ Variation For Progression - Adjusting tempo allows for progression in training without always increasing weight. By manipulating tempo, you can continue challenging your muscles and preventing plateaus.
✅ Injury Prevention - Controlled movements ensure proper form
✅ Versatility And Adaptation - Keeps things interesting
Have a watch of the video and let me know your thoughts - next week - benefits of adding unilateral exercises to your routine 👍👍
🏋️♀️ Personal Training is for Everyone
There are so many benefits … I use a coach too
Think …
✅ Accountability
✅ Progress Tracking
✅ Technique Enhancement
✅ Vatiety and Innovation
✅ Confidence Building
✅ Time Efficiency
There is so much out there, so many ways we can adapt, so many things we can learn
If you’re interested and would like to chat more, drop me a message, or if you’re a member at Everyone Active Harrow Lodge pop by and see me
Have a great weekend and thanks for watching
Training for scapular mobility and strength has numerous benefits that we all can use in our lives, think improved posture, improved shoulder health, a stronger upper back helping to reduce the risk of injury and improved exercise performance across a range of lifts and moves. Try incorporating the following into your routine 2-3 times a week - let me know how you get on 👍

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year and hope 2024 brings everything you wish for. January is a time that a lot of us look to make changes to our lifestyle and fitness goals so please do get in touch with me if you’d like more information on 1-1 PT, online training plans or group PT sessions. I also cover sports specific S&C training. Additionally, please look out for some weekly videos from me, focusing on bodyweight exercises that I love and should be a staple of everyone’s training regime and how you can build an effective workout around them at home, at zero cost to you other than your time. All the best Ben
