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
Offset training, where you are loaded on one side, is an excellent way to challenge your core and build stability while strengthening your muscles. This kettle bell pendulum lunge is one of my favorites and is a great warm up or finisher for leg day.
