Have you ever tried using a stick or broom handle to do your isometric exercises? Using a tool like this will add one other dimension to your routine. You need to use a stick by simply holding it in your hands and pushing and pulling with it in front of you, behind you and over your head. It’s best to hold each movement for a minimum of 7 seconds.
Vary the gap between your hands from close together to far apart to hit the muscles at different angles because you would like to exercise the muscles in multiple position. Try placing one end of the stick on the bottom in front of you and pushing down on it with each hands or use each hand individually, it will goal your back and your abs. Push down with one arm and feel your Lat muscle with the opposite hand, you’ll notice the way it is tensed up.
There are various ways you may do isometric exercises like this. Hold the stick over your head along with your two hands holding it. Push your hands together while squeezing the stick then try pulling outwards on the stick. Pushing will goal your shoulders and pulling will goal your Lats. Try using the stick from every position you may consider and vary how close or far apart your hands are and you’re going to get workout.
Isometrics are great because you may do them anywhere with little or no equipment. You’ll be able to do them alone or use them along with weights or body weight exercises.
