No matter if you’re a weekend warrior, a conditioned athlete or new to regular workouts, there are times when you might find yourself working around an injury. It’s important to keep working out, while being mindful of the injury.
For example, if you have a foot injury you can work out your upper body. We understand it’s a hassle to limp around from machine to machine at the gym, but this training will help keep your conditioning.
Unilateral exercises are an important part of any strength-training routine. Unilateral training involves training limbs individually, rather than engaging both sides together. Everyone has a weak side. Bilateral training allows your dominant side to compensate for your weaker side. This can set you up for injuries later.
Unilateral exercises allow you to train away these differences. By using one Dumbbell at a time you can concentrate on one side of your body at a time.
Many people gauge whether they’re in shape or not by checking their abs.
We are sure you have witnessed gym members doing hundreds of sit-ups and hundreds of leg raises without any results. You can also do as much cardio as possible and still not move the fitness needle to better abs.
It’s true if you aren’t reducing calories in the kitchen, you’re wasting your time working on your abs.
