Free Weights v.s. Machine Exercises, which is better?
When comparing compound moves with free weights to the circuit machines at the gym, there is no comparison.
Free weights are better for overall strength and functional fitness because they engage more muscles, including stabilizers, and mimic real-life movements. Circuit training on machines is easier to learn, safer, and allows for muscle isolation, which can be beneficial for beginners or specific goals. However, remember, free weights, engage is more muscles, improves functional strength (because they mimic real life movements), increases range of motion, and are more complex, which you ultimately engages that brain 🧠 to focus on proper form and technique.
