Free weights vs. machines: how to maximize your training?

In this podcast, we look at the eternal question that plagues many exercisers: free weights or machines? Find out which type of resistance is right for you and how to combine them smartly to get maximum results in your workout. We'll discuss the pros and cons of free weights (dumbbells, one-arms, kettlebells) and exercise machines (weight towers, isolation machines) so you can optimize your training plan.

You'll learn why free weights are great for developing functional strength, stability and coordination, and when you'll appreciate machines for muscle isolation, safety and ease of use. We'll show you practical tips on how to incorporate both types into your workouts, whether you're a beginner or an advanced athlete.
