The dirty secret of weight machines

It kills me when I see an obese person that is trying to lose weight, on a biceps curl machine. It is a waste of time. It is such a small muscle and burn few calories. Moreover, machines do not help you wit h posture or core strength. Thus you need to use a lot of them to cover your whole body. And machines work your muscles in isolation which never happens in real life.

Invest your workout time in exercises that use as many muscles as you can. And learn a variety of bodyweight exercises. If you can’t perform a chin up, what the hell are you doing on a biceps curl machine?
