The Power of Compound Lifts

Compound lifts are exercises that work multiple muscle groups at the same time. This type of workout is efficient and effective because it burns more calories and builds more muscles.

By showing up to the gym regularly and pushing herself to lift heavier weights, she saw progress over time.

If you're looking for a workout routine that can help you lose weight and build strength, you may want to consider compound lifts. However, keep in mind that everyone's body is different and what works for one person may not work for another. It's essential to experiment with different workouts and find what works best for you.
