Unilateral training is training only one side of the body at a time. An example of a unilateral exercise would be a lunge. Unilateral exercises do not allow you to use as much weight as bilateral exercises but they do serve a purpose. Unilateral exercises such as lunges and one arm shoulder presses are great for developing a balanced body. Many people come to our facility with imbalances such as one leg or arm that is stronger than the other. If only bilateral exercises are used then these imbalances can often be made worse. By utilizing exercises such as lunges we are able to create legs that are balanced and a balanced body is pain free.

Dan,
When you put walking lunges up it really makes me dread the workout. Thanks for ruining my day.
All the best,

Dan,
You pull walking lunges out of the hopper for tomorrow and we are dropping the gloves. Just sayin'.

Bill,
I always think of you when I post the lunges. We will have to get you some heavier DB's soon.
