Isometric training combined with Therabands and a thigh band to target the trunk and spine, including the obliques, rectus abdominis, transverse abdominis, spinal erectors, and hip rotators. We will hold each isometric for anywhere from 10-30 seconds with a 5-10 second rest in between. Isolated and integrated isometric resistance training will be used throughout as we progress from bodyweight challenges to those with added resistance.
Isometrics is simply a term for a muscle contraction that is maintaining a consistent amount of length and tension over a period of time without changing. These are great for addressing muscle imbalances. You will need a thigh band, a TheraBand or elastic tube, a wall, and a mat or elbow friendly surface.
