Sentences with phrase «activates more muscle groups»

Not exact matches

The exercises that are done in a total body workout are mainly heavy compound movements for obvious reasons.Movements that activate more muscle mass are included, because you are not doing 3,4 or more exercises for a muscle group.

Compound movements use more muscle groups, activate higher amounts of muscle fibers than isolation exercises (i.e. curls), and as a result, release higher amounts of anabolic hormones (such as human growth hormone) in your body.

In turn, this activates a lot more muscle groups, which has the effect of burning more calories.
