Video 574 | Weighted Isometrics: Lower Body (30 minutes) with Lauren Eirk
7 Day Fitness Plan
•
01-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 on hip flexion, extension, adduction, abduction and rotation isometrics for improved mobility and hip 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 determine areas of tightness and potential weakness in four hip planes of motion. Next, we will practice some common lower body positions chosen for their relevance to hip joint stability. These 10 isometric positions will be held for 15-90 seconds in various position variations while working against dumbbells. You will need a support for several of the movements so that balance is not an issue.
