Unilateral core exercises are a game-changer, yet many overlook their importance until injury or performance plateaus strike. I once trained a client who had been lifting weights for years. He was incredibly strong in big lifts like goblet squats, deadlifts, and kettlebell swings, but his back would occasionally "go out," as he would say.
This wasn't an age-related issue; instead, he suffered from unaddressed hip mobility limitations, weak hip rotators, and, you guessed it, a lack of deep core strength. To remedy his situation, we included several unilateral core exercises featured in this article into his routine, reducing pain and significantly improving strength and core stability.
Below are the 11 best unilateral core exercises you need to be doing right now:
Suitcase Carry
Kettlebell Anti-Rotation March
Kettlebell Rack March
Half Kneeling Kettlebell Windmill
Same-Side Deadbug
Tall Kneeling Anti-Rotation Press (Pallof Press)
Bear Plank Shoulder Taps
Plank Reach
Clock Plank
Glute Bridge March
Single-Leg Glute Bridge
