Fitness Tip: The New Year is upon us and many beginners will be hitting the gym for the very first time. A tip for the beginner, someone who is new to exercise or getting back into it, is to focus on compounding movements. This means staying away from small isolated exercises that will only train a single muscle group. Instead, use your time more efficiently and perform movements such as a squat, deadlift, bent over row, pull-up, and bench press that activate multiple muscle groups leading to a more complete workout.
