9 Trainers Share the Top Weight-Loss Mistakes People Make in the Gym
“When it comes to training and losing weight, bigger movements are the better option. For instance, compound multi-joint movements, such as a pushups, deadlifts, pullups, or squats, involve more muscle groups and require more energy (you know, calories) than single-joint exercises, like a bicep curl. Building muscle with compound movements also raises your metabolism, so you burn more calories at rest.” —Wes Showalter, C.S.C.S., interval and cycling coach at Studio Three
