In episode 79 I talked about the benefits of multi-joint or compound exercises. In other words, exercises that work multiple muscle groups across more than one joint.

Today's episode is all about Isolation or single-joint exercises. These exercises work (or isolate) just one muscle group.

I personally love compound exercises - they provide the biggest bang for your buck and allow you to work many muscles in a short period of time. However isolation exercises serve a very important purpose and shouldn't be overlooked.

Listen to today's episode to learn the benefits of isolation exercises.
