Day one of the ISO-Band Program is marked with multi-joint integrated isometric training to target the trunk and spine. All of the positions that we will practice in this video center around the transverse plane in "rotation".
After a short mobility warm-up, we will practice several rotation exercises that allow the trunk muscles such as the obliques and transverse abdominis to integrate with hips, shoulders, and feet. These rotation exercises span from low to high, middle, and high to low patterns that are commonly used in rotational sports. The exercise set up will also require you to attach the band away from you by hooking it to a chair, banister, or any piece of furniture.
A sponge ball or pillow can be placed behind the lower back for several of the floor exercises for added comfort. We will finish using the TheraBand to challenge spinal erectors and shoulders in the quadruped position. You will definitely feel the difference!
