In this full week of sidebend workouts, we will visit isolated isometric joint positions in the frontal 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 several lateral flexion isometrics with variations using a sponge ball as resistance and a blanket for support when sitting on the floor. Take note of any areas that feel particularly tight or limited. This is likely due to muscle weakness.
