As we age, mobility, endurance, muscle mass, and strength weakens. This collection allows you to experience all stages of the 5-Step Isometric Method: a simple, science-packed system to restore strength, protect your joints, and age with confidence.
Muscles are endocrine organs that influence everything from metabolism to mobility — and they naturally decline 3–8% per decade after age 30. That’s why your training needs structure, progression, and precision. The Isometric Method™ gives you a safe, cyclical roadmap to rebuild strength, stabilize your joints, and adapt to the challenges of daily life.
Inside each video, we will tackle a common issue, such as being able to bend over safely, keeping your bones strong, or being able to sit on the ground comfortably. See how this progressive strength training approach finds solutions to better living through resistance training using these 5 steps:
Step 1: Activate — Used in the warm-ups and cool-downs
Target weaknesses with isolated isometrics that wake up dormant muscles, restore joint positions, and reduce compensation. Ideal for warm-ups, prehab, and rehab.
Step 2: Integrate
Progress to connecting multiple joints and build coordinated strength with positional isometrics. Improve flexibility through muscle contraction—not stretching—while reducing inflammation, enhancing control, and lowering blood pressure.
Step 3: Move
Build control and mobility with bodyweight training (Bodyweight Calisthenics), functional Pilates-style core work, and joint-focused movement sessions designed to improve range of motion and movement confidence.
Step 4: Amplify
Once you feel more comfortable in controlling your joints, progress to added load in our strength training phase. Train upper, lower, and full body strength using dumbbells, elastic bands, and small props to build balanced muscle.
Step 5: Optimize
The epitome of the workout moves into Muscle Challenge for your system with dynamic resistance, intervals, stability ball work, and barre-inspired routines. Improve endurance, resilience, and responsiveness for long-term joint longevity.
*Modifications given throughout for all levels. You do not have to progress to the next step if you are not ready. In one workout, you are getting a sample of each video category so that you can find what best serves you on a daily basis!
