This home isometric workout is using isometric training combined with dumbbells to target your entire lower body including quads, hamstrings, glutes, calves and also core!
Isometrics is simply a term for a muscle holding its contraction and is neither lengthening or shortening.
You will need a pair of dumbbells, a wall and a mat or elbow friendly surface. For your reference, I am using 2 x 12.5kg dumbbells.
The positions are held for 40 seconds each with 20 seconds to get ready for the next position.
This isometric lower body workout will aim to improve balance, co-ordination, core stability and overall strength of lower body.
Pease ensure the following when performing certain isometric holds:
•you are engaging your core thorough and particular attention when performing uneven lunge hold and wall sits in order to keep spine straight.
•Come out of Romanian deadlifts at any point if lower back feels tight or simply to reset in order to perform hold better to help gain deeper stretch in hamstrings
•In wall sit, ensure thighs are parallel to floor and knees are bent to 90 degrees.
•Remember to relax your breathing when holding the contraction and only do to your ability.
Make these Isometric Exercises as challenging as you possibly can!
