Isolation Exercises

Definition: Isolation exercises are movements that involve one joint or one muscle group rather than multiple muscles and joints as in compound movements. Doing isolation exercises can help target specific muscle groups which is great for bodybuilding or for people who are healing an injury or muscular imbalance. A combination of compound and isolation moves is a great way to work the entire body and get more depth out of your strength training routine. <p><b>Examples of isolation exercises: <ul><li>Bicep curls <li>Leg Extensions <li>Chest flies <li>Tricep extensions </ul>
