Most ex athletes stop training each leg on its own, and it shows 👇
Back in the day you were sprinting, cutting, skating and jumping, and almost all of that happens on one leg at a time. Then you get older, get busy, and if you train at all it’s usually just squats and leg press on two legs.
Over time that catches up with you:
One side gets stronger than the other
Balance and stability fade
Knees, hips and low back start acting up
You stop moving like an athlete
Training each leg on its own builds back the strength, balance and power you used to have. It also makes it a lot less likely you’ll tweak something the next time you play pickup or hit the ice.
Try this out on your next lower body day and feel the difference
*The second exercise is challenging, start without the knee drive and lower weight. Build from there
