Welcome to Episode 9 of the Movement Logic podcast! In this episode, Laurel tells you what the best exercises are for strength (for busy people). Here’s what this episode digs into:  

  • Exercise prescription versus program design
  • Training muscles versus training movements
  • 8 different types of movements you can train strength within
  • A simplified list of 4 movements to train strength within
  • Why multi-joint exercises are more bang for your muscles than single joint exercises
  • Why multi-joint muscles also strengthen the torso
  • Do a full body workout rather than a split routine
  • Choose your order of exercises strategically 
  • “Rules” for putting strength exercises in order
