Relying Too Much On Isolation Exercises
There’s a time and place for seated calf raises, but if you’re splitting up your workout like a bodybuilder, doing one day of chest, one day of biceps, one day of shoulders, and so forth, you’re probably spending too much time performing isolation exercises that focus on a single muscle group, and not enough time on full-body, compound movements. Fill your program with deadlifts, squats, push-ups, pull-ups, and lunges. It’s these exercises that ultimately recruit more muscle tissue and boost your metabolism more efficiently.
