1 Hour ISOMETRIC & DYNAMIC FULL BODY WORKOUT | Caroline Girvan

1 hour full body Isometric workout at home combined with dynamic movements to give your whole body a complete workout and help build strength with holds that require large muscle contractions.

When performed to a high level of exertion, isometrics will help improve core activation, increase flexibility, strengthen tendons and ligaments, improve body awareness and co-ordination, improved balance and posture! So many benefits of incorporating isometrics into your training!

Isometrics is simply a term for a muscle holding its contraction and is neither lengthening or shortening.

You will need a mat or elbow friendly surface, a steady chair, water handy and a towel.

In this isometric workout, we are combining dynamic movement with the relating isometric hold to intensify the workload on the muscles.

We begin with lower body for 20 minutes, upper body for 20 minutes and core & ab for 20 minutes to complete a full body workout of 1 hour.

The exercises are performed for 45 seconds, followed immediately by the hold position for 45 seconds, then 20 seconds to get ready for the next position.

Remember to relax your breathing when holding the contraction and only do to your ability. For any hold involving leg lower, simply do not lower as much and perform lower push up on knees if needed.

Make these Isometric Exercises as challenging as you possibly can for this home workout!

I hope you feel fantastic for completing this!
