Video 654 | IsoBoost Day 10 (30 minutes) with Lauren Eirk
5 Day Fitness Plan

21-Feb-2025
On day 10 we are moving our focus to the lower body, particularly the muscles that extend the hip and plantar flex the ankle. We are targeting muscles like the glutes, hamstrings, and calves. This workout is geared towards the muscles that keep us upright. We will be using isolated and integrated isometrics for this routine. Even though certain types of isometrics can be very intense, we will be performing isometrics for the purpose of muscle activation, so the resistance used should not include shaking or cramping.
This routine includes:
Bridge variations
Quadruped hip extension
Prone knee flexion (bending)
Prone plantar flexion
Seated knee extension
Supine knee extension with hip
Standing Knee flexion
Standing calf raise isometric
Bridge variations
By the end of the routine, your squats will feel deeper and more stable. This is one workout that showcases the power of an isometric for joint stabilization and range of motion.
