When you want to burn calories without moving your muscles much, there is a way out – isometric exercises. What is an isometric exercise? Here’s an example. Bring your palms together and press them against each other. You will feel a tension in your shoulders, chest and arm. It’s that simple, and there are many ways to do it.
It’s hardly a movement, but the target is contracted and activated. These exercises are great for building strength and burning 2 to 5 calories per minute. They are a godsend for people with shoulder and/or knee injuries and can even help lower blood pressure. With this article, we’ll introduce you to the six best isometric exercises you can do in the gym or at home. Let’s get started!The isometric chest press is a great way to define your biceps and front pectoral muscle. You stand upright or sit on a chair where you can sit upright and feel the ischial tuberosities. You bend your arms at your sides with your elbows pointing outward in a line. In the center of your body, your palms touch and you now press them together firmly.
A variation for advanced practitioners is the deep squat in the rider’s stance with legs wide open. With this exercise you also train your leg muscles and stretch the entire posterior muscle chain at the same time. If you have back problems there due to a shortening of the posterior muscle chain, this exercise can help you restore balance to the anterior muscle chain and thus relieve back pain.
With these exercises you have a full-body isometric program that will get your body in shape without any movement – but not without effort. Good luck!
