It doesn’t matter if you are just starting out or have been exercising for a while, knowing this simple trick can change everything. It is important of course to isolate the muscles, meaning just doing a back exercise or a tricep exercise for those certain muscles. But on top of that, which should be thrown into your workout program once or twice a week are full body movements. In the fitness world you can call them compound movements or lifts. This means you are using multiple body parts to perform a exercise. For example: when you perform a deadlift, you are not just using your back muscles. During the movement you are using arms, legs, back, shoulders, core and everything in-between. This means that you are using and burning more calories as you perform this exercise.
Other exercise too that involve multiple movements and can help keep the heart rate up are using battle ropes, clean to presses, squat to presses, burpees, squats and a lot more. The main thing to remember is the more muscles involved the more calories you will burn. Of course you should not being doing it every day because your muscles do need rest and need to repair.
