Single leg deadlifts strengthen and stretch your hamstrings while building stability

By Chloe Gray

Welcome to our weekly Move of the Week series. Every Monday, we’ll be sharing with you one of our favourite exercises – how to do them, what muscles they work and why they should be a regular part of your workout regime. This week: single leg deadlifts.

Deadlifts are already probably part of your workout routine, so why not challenge yourself with a single leg version? After all, variation is key to adaptation – your body needs new, challenging stimulus to keep getting stronger and growing muscle.
