Sort Exercises Into Muscle Groups

Effective strength training requires understanding which exercises target which muscle groups. Compound movements work multiple muscles simultaneously, while isolation exercises target a single muscle group. The major muscle groups are chest, back, shoulders, arms (biceps and triceps), core (abdominals and obliques), and legs (quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes). Knowing which exercises target which muscles helps you build a balanced workout program, avoid overtraining, and achieve your fitness goals more efficiently. In this sortable quiz, you'll drag famous exercises into the primary muscle group they target. Whether you're a personal trainer, a gym enthusiast, or a fitness beginner, this quiz will reinforce your exercise science knowledge.
