In this episode of the HNL Movement Podcast, Andrew dives into the pros and cons of bilateral versus unilateral exercises and why incorporating both into your routine is essential for maximizing strength and performance. While bilateral exercises like squats and deadlifts help build overall strength and power, unilateral movements, such as single-leg squats and lunges, are crucial for addressing imbalances, improving core stability, and promoting more functional movement. Andrew highlights how each type of exercise serves a unique purpose in training, and when combined, they provide a well-rounded approach to movement efficiency and injury prevention.
Throughout the episode, Andrew provides actionable insights on how to incorporate both types of exercises effectively into your routine. Whether you’re trying to build more strength, improve balance, or prevent injury, integrating bilateral and unilateral movements will help you become a more balanced, stronger athlete. Tune in to learn how to make the most of your training and develop a stronger, more functional body. Enjoy the episode!
