Day two of the ISO-Band Program is marked with multi-joint integrated isometric training to target the hips and knees. All of the positions that we will practice in this video center around the sagittal plane in "flexion" and extension.
After a short mobility warm-up, we will practice several squats and knee lifts to get acquainted with our range of motion for the day. I recommend that you use a chair, banister, or any piece of furniture so that you can keep your balance.
We will start in standing, performing hip flexion isometrics with the knee flexed and extended with the hip in neutral, external rotation, and internal rotation. Next experience the core stabilization needed in sitting positions on the ground. A sponge ball will be sandwiched into the lower back for support. (these are so hard!)
Moving to our back, experience some hip flexor strengtheners while trying to keep the spine neutral. Experience lever length changes again, with the knees flexed and extended.
As you complete the workout your squats will be amazing!
