Consider Offset Training for Core, Stability and Athleticism

“Offset training” when you perform a complex exercise carrying weight on just one side of your body can be a great way to challenge your core, build stability and improve athleticism. Bracing your core, locking in your shoulders and maintain tension are key for successfully performing any offset exercise. In this post I share three videos of my favorite offset exercises which, depending on your goals and baseline fitness, are perfect as a primary exercise, warm up or finisher. I like using a kettle bell but you can use any weight you have handy like a dumb bell, cable, ViPR, etc.

Pendulum Lunge

Squat to Overhead Press

Single Arm Deadlift
