Isolation exercises: why they should definitely be part of your training |Isolation exercises: why they should definitely be part of your training

Whether it is due to intensive training, pain, certain sports, injuries or sitting at a desk for hours on end - each of us has muscular imbalances or asymmetries in some way. The consequences are often tension, loss of strength or even differently developed muscles. This can lead to poor performance and even injuries, especially during basic exercises.

Isolation exercises are used to specifically train the back shoulder and back muscles, the trunk and buttocks, and can counteract the most common muscular imbalances. 

Nowadays, unfortunately, almost everyone has problems with posture. Especially the shoulders and the lower back are often affected. Sitting for hours on end and a crooked sitting posture can lead to pain and various complaints. A bad posture not only looks unattractive, but also increases the risk of injury.

Isolation exercises help you to compensate for inequalities in the upper body muscles. The front of our body is usually very strong. But we neglect the back of the body far too often - perhaps because we cannot see it in the mirror. Especially the lower trapezius muscles, rhomboids and posterior deltoid muscles need special attention, but are often not trained sufficiently.

Who wants to wake up every morning with lower back pain?

Most of us have been affected by it before: Back pain. The fear of pain when standing up or bending down is terrible. Back pain restricts us enormously in everyday life.

Two muscle groups that can be used to prevent lower back problems are the gluteal and core muscles. If we strengthen these two areas, they can relieve the spine and protect it during training and everyday movements. In our PAKAMA app you will find under the category "search for muscle group" isolation exercises for core and buttocks to strengthen the lower back, but also to strengthen yourself for basic exercises.
