NEW! Unilateral Challenge Workout
Unilateral control of movement is just as important as bilateral from walking to reaching to writing. Day-to-day functional movements are unilateral, using one side of the body at a time. In order to perform a proper unilateral action one needs to strengthen and balance each side of the body independently of the opposite side. Working unilaterally challenges the neuromuscular system while maintaining equilibrium. This insures that the proper muscles are recruited and adjusted on each side of the body for support and balance. Following, the unilateral workout will be implemented into a bilateral workout for synchronization.
