Core/multijoint exercises – the key to a better, more effective resistance workout

by

Core exercises – They are more effective at helping people reach their exercise goals. A core exercise must meet these two criteria:

  • It should involve movement at two or more primary joints, they are also called multi joint exercises
  • It should recruit one or more large muscle groups or areas (chest, shoulders, upper back, hips/thighs) with the synergistic help of one or more smaller muscle groups or areas (biceps, triceps, abdominals, calves, neck, forearms, lower back, shins). One core exercise can affect as many muscles or muscle groups as four to eight assistance exercises.
