Total Gym Exercises - Isolation vs. Compound

What makes one exercise better than another? Answer - How much of your body it uses.

    More muscles exercised = more muscle toned and more fat burned

Isolation Exercise - An exercise that stresses your body across 1 joint.

    Example: Chest Fly


    In a chest fly, only your shoulder joint will be moving - exercising your chest and shoulder muscles.

Compound Exercise - An exercise that stresses your body across multiple joints in one movement.

    Example: Chest Press


    When doing a chest press, both your shoulder and elbow joints will be bending - exercising your chest, shoulders, and triceps muscles.


Using compound exercises will empower you to train more of your body in less amount of time.

In addition, compound exercises enable you to use more resistance than isolation movements.
