Fit and Fine with Kamal Singh CSCS: A leg up

One leg exercises are way better than those that involve both. And forward lunge is probably the go-to exercise for most people right now

Covid has forced all of us to re-examine how we lead our lives. From hand sanitisation, wearing face masks to working from home, we are seeing a paradigm shift. The pandemic has really upended our normal lives and what we took for granted. For the hard-core gym goer, gyms being shut for months was not something that would ever happen. For the heavy lifter, having to discover or rather rediscover bodyweight exercises was an eye-opener. Trainers like me who shouted from the roof tops, “when in doubt load the bar and squat”, have had to find alternatives to keep our clients engaged and progressing.
