To find your inner strength is easy and it won't cost you anything but time.
Isometrics involves muscle contraction against resistance in which the length of the muscle remains the same.
Denise Austin, you know that Idaho potato lady the fitness guru. She has put out these free, yes I said free weight management guides at Rite Aid.
See, stop spending all that money on buying these fitness expert's books.
Anyway, here are some of the things she said about exercising and isometrics.
"People think they have to go to the gym for two hours, but all you need is 30 minutes if you're consistent". Stand up and move, isometric exercises will help you burn more calories during the course of the day. You can do these exercises in the kitchen, at work and even on the subway. Isometric exercises can add immeasurable strength and muscle growth. With muscle growth you will burn more fat. You need to add them to your exercise program, don't leave them out.
Isometrics and other stretching exercises are important in reducing stress by letting you take time out for yourself. It also improves your posture, lengthens your muscles and improves your strength, energy and circulation.
I do a lot of isometrics and stretching exercises before and after my workouts. For me, it helps by warm up my muscles and avoid injury to them.
I also like to do them before I lift any weights whether it's a resistance machine or free weights.
It doesn't matter, we are older so please stretch before and after.
Please follow the recommendations of your doctor before your start any exercise routine.
How do you find your inner strength?
