Which Muscle-Which Equipment

[evyiyj...@yahoo.com]

If you are a newbie to the gym, all the equipment may look confusing.
Now I am sure over time, you can watch others use the equipment and
get the hang of how to use it but not necessarily will you know when
to use it. In other words which muscle group are benefiting.
You see, most workouts consist of focusing on one muscle at a time.
Generally you should not do one exercise for chest, followed by an
exercise for legs and then followed by an exercise for back. It just
doesn't maximize the intensity of your workout. You should perform the
entire workout on a given body part or muscle group before moving to
the next.
Okay, so which exercises hit which muscle groups? I will detail that
out below but keep in mind this is a shopping list that you choose.
Also, this list is not all encompassing. I sure I could add a dozen
more exercises but I will just list some of the basics. Also I will
not list the machines for the specific muscle groups below. The
machines are self defining. BUT you should add some of those machines
to your routine.
