01-Apr-2024
In this full week of trunk flexion workouts, we will visit isolated isometric joint positions in the sagittal plane, at the hip, shoulder, and spine. As we begin our week, it is important that all our muscles are activated and responsive. For this reason, we are starting with isometrics.
Isometrics can improve range of motion, reduce pain, and help us to uncover your weak areas. Anytime during this workout, if you feel tight or shakey, make sure to push extremely light!! You can do this video over and over as you move through this series to reset. We will perform seven trunk flexion isometrics with variations using a sponge ball and a Pilates Magic Circle / Ring as resistance. Take note of any areas that feel particularly tight or limited. This is likely due to muscle weakness.
