The benefits of compound movements for gaining lean muscle and fat loss. A compound movement is an Excercise that works multiple areas at one time. These movements are ideal for fat loss because they require a lot more energy then isolating a certain muscle group. They are also ideal for avoiding pattern overload. People who train one muscle group at a time are more inclined to develop muscular imbalances, because they tend to overwork certain muscle groups and neglect others. Compound movements strengthen the whole body and improve the skeletal system. ( deadlifts, squats, and lunges) are all extremely effective compound movements.

 Deadlifts work nearly every muscle in your body and help improve your posterior chain. When performed correctly their are highly effective for fat lost because they work so many different areas and require a lot of energy to perform. Squats are another great excercise to promote lean muscle growth. When you squat correctly you engage your hips, legs, core, and back, it is also a very functional movement. Lunges are another great excercise that can be performed in different planes of motion. They are great for improving strength, balance, and flexibility. These movements are highly effective  because they work multiple areas and it forces you to make different muscle groups work together. If your main goal is fat loss and increasing lean muscle mass you should definitely implement compound movements into your routine. Diet will always be the most important factor to your success, but you should also be training towards your goals. If you train arms twice a week, you will definitley gain muscle in your arms, but it will do little to change your bodies composition. Work smarter not harder. Have a happy and healthy weekend!!
