As we age, muscle loss (sarcopenia) becomes a major concern, especially after 40. Isometric training helps activate and maintain muscle fibers without requiring excessive movement, making it an ideal strategy for preserving muscle mass.
Keeping our muscles strong in our lower body is essential, since they support our bodyweight and enable us to stand,walk, squat, and climb. Isometric resistance training is the first step to building muscle. Isometrics allow for targeted muscle activation, helping to strengthen weak areas where muscles may not be engaged effectively during traditional movements.
As you move through this routine, you will notice that some of the positions feel limited. This is a sign of muscle weakness. Using an object like a yoga block, we will create resistance to wake up our hip flexors, outer hip external rotators, hip extensors (glutes), and lateral hip abductor muscles.
These powerful isometrics can transform your hips and improve your overall range of motion and give you a ton of energy! You will feel stronger, taller, and energized from this short routine. These isometrics are peppered throughout the FIS On Demand platform and completely transformative!
