 Ball
Exercises
Ball
exercises are known for
their benefit to stabilizer
muscle groups. However,
they also help isolate a
muscle and allow the prime
mover to do the work. Ball
exercises are also used
to train many high level
athletes due to the balance
required to perform an exercise
upon an exercise ball.
 Stretches and Flexibility Exercises
What
is so great about stretching
and flexibility? It slowly
increases your bloodflow
and gives your muscles a
chance to prepare for exercise.
However, according to recent
research stretching is more
effective when you complete
an adequate warm up before
you stretch. The
best time to stretch is
at the end of a workout
when your muscles are already
warm.
Isolation
This
is a complete list of isolation
exercises that you can complete.
Isolation exercises are
important to completely
fatigue a muscle to exhaustion.
It should be noted that
isolation exercises should
not be the focus of any
specific workout
routine as compound exercises provide a better overall result.
.
 Compound

exercises that you can complete.
Compound exercises use multiple
muscle groups to complete
an exercise. Compound exercises
are extremely important
for growth and fat loss.

 What is a weight training log book?
A weight training log allows for optimal progress. Too much or too little weight may be used if resistance is not recorded. If too much weight is used, form may suffer and injury is more likely. If too little weight is used, the body does not have to adapt to an overload (muscular strength, muscular size, power, increased bone density, joint integrity, increased metabolism, etc.).
