Leg Workout

Single Leg

One of the key goals in training is to promote balance in the body.  Unfortunately if all you do is bilateral exercises your dominant side can take over the exercise therefore increasing inbalances in the body.  By doing single leg work you ensure that your weaker side is doing all the work possible. This workout can be done during any part of your training but is most effective if you use it during the strength or endurance phases.  Wether you are doing this workout for strength (4 sets of 8) or endurance (3 sets of 15-25) be sure to lift to failure on your last set.  Be sure to do your non-dominant side first.  On your final set only match the number or repetitions with your dominant leg even if you can do more.
