Video 575 | Weighted Isometrics: Upper Body (30 minutes) with Lauren Eirk
5 Day Fitness Plan
•
03-Jul-2024
This workout combines many of the single joint and multi-joint isometric positions using not only bodyweight as resistance, but dumbbells as well! Experience variations in many shoulder, elbow, and spinal isometrics for improved mobility and stability.
You will be amazed at how much of a challenge it is to hold a position with your muscles having to maintain tension under load. We will start with a short warm up to help you prime the major muscles of the chest and back with bodyweight then dumbbells. Next, we will practice some common lower body positions chosen for their relevance to shoulder joint stability. These 10 isometric positions will be held for 15-90 seconds in various position variations while working against dumbbells. Strengthen the back, chest, shoulders, biceps, and triceps in a slow, progressive way!
