Single Leg Workout at Home or Gym | Renewal Fitness Coaching

This Single Leg, lower body workout is intended to help you correct imbalances and build even strength in each of your leg and glute muscles. It can be done at home with little or no equipment, or done at a gym.  Most of us have one leg that's stronger than the other, which can cause hip, lower back, and knee issues. Incorporating single leg exercises, also known as unilateral exercises, is important to maintain balance throughout your body. 

They also help you to really focus in on each leg to make sure that muscles are firing correctly. You might find that you barely feel one glute work while the other feels fine or one hamstring seems weaker than the other. These things are important to pinpoint, because they may be causing pain in another area of your body. Single leg exercises are also important for preventing injuries or imbalances. 

Most of these I'm doing as bodyweight exercises, which are great for beginners and for anyone who wants to improve mobility. Feel free to add weights to any of these exercises to make them more challenging and help you build bigger, stronger muscles.
