## Caption

Running is a single-leg activity — every stride is essentially a one-leg landing, over and over again.

If your strength training is only bilateral lifts, you’re missing a huge piece of performance and injury prevention.

These 3 unilateral exercises help:
• Improve hip and pelvic stability
• Build balanced leg strength
• Reduce stress on knees, hips, and low back
• Transfer directly to better running mechanics

Single-leg wall RDL → trains hinge strength + anti-rotation control
Single-leg glute bridge → reinforces glute firing for a stronger stride
Barbell reverse lunge → builds unilateral leg strength with less joint impact

If you run often (or train HYROX / hybrid), single-leg work isn’t optional — it’s foundational.

Save this for your next strength day 🏃‍♀️💪
