Isolation vs Compound Exercises for Beginners Over 50 - Episode 032
🎙️ Episode 32: Should older adults do isolation exercises or stick with functional movement patterns?
As a physiotherapist, I explain when isolation exercises (bicep curls, leg extensions, hamstring curls,etc) are actually beneficial vs. when compound movements work better.
This will help if you’re dealing with knee pain, shoulder issues, or want to know how to use gym machines safely.
