Do some single leg work
Lets focus briefly on point number four. Remember how we discussed above that those with knee issues need to improve general quadriceps strength, and also need to improve gluteal strength as well? For these reasons alone, single-leg exercises can do wonders for preventing (or rehabilitating) injuries. Beyond that, far too many of us stick solely to the big exercises in the gym. Im all for big squats, good mornings, and pulls, but single-leg exercises move us out of the sagittal plane and force our bodies to learn stabilization patterns in the frontal plane. Im a firm believer that the better our stability is in the frontal (and transverse) planes, the better well be able to perform in sagittal plane exercises.In laymans terms, the more proficient you are at single-leg exercises, the better you can become at double-leg exercises.
