Top 10 Compound Exercises
Don’t have much time to workout? Want THE top muscle builders? Want to develop
real strength? If so compound exercises should be the core of your strength routine!
Compound exercises are simply exercises that target more than one muscle group. For
clarity, exercises that target a single muscle group are called isolation exercises.
Anyway on to the Herculean strength builders!!

Squats
The good old traditional squat should be a part of any strength workout

its own!!

Getting the most from your workout time is essential; your time is precious right? So
let’s make sure you squeeze the maximum from your workout with these top tips.

Use a Workout Log
If you aren’t logging your workouts, you’ve not got the data to progress.
Set Goals
To perform effectively you need to know why you’re working out when you don’t
feel like it!
Stay Hydrated
Most of your body is made up of water, don’t get depleted during your workout
otherwise you can’t perform at the top level.
Be well equipped
Have the best clothing and equipment you can afford, you’ll workout better and stay
more comfortable.
Plan your Workout
If you meander around the equipment you’re wasting valuable time and you aren’t
focused.
Don't be a workoutaholic
Going to the gym or working out all the time leads to staleness and injuries - don’t be
a bore!!
Warm up correctly
A poor warm up will lead to poor gains and injuries, spend the time to get that blood
pumping.
Stretch after exercise
Stretching can help the body to rid it’s self of the chemical build ups that cause
muscle soreness. No one likes to walk like Frankenstein after our workouts!!
