Gone are the days when we just do a series of bicep curls or sit ups. These are single-joint or isloation exercises. The most effective way of strength training is by using multi-joint movements. Think about it, by working multiple muscle groups at one time, we not only burn more calories but we also save on valuable time!
You are probably sitting there thinking - what the heck does multi-joint exercise mean? It is an exercise that uses movement across two or more joints, such as a squat. This exercise requires you to manipulate the ankles, knees, hips, spine and possible the shoulders to complete the movement. Though they may be the more challenging moves, multi-joint exercises are the ones that will make the biggest difference in your body.
Don't worry, you will see more blog posts about this topic. We firmly believe in this type of training and in the coming weeks, we will be sure to show you various multi-joint exercises that will help you not only in everyday function but also in fat loss and definition.
