This workout marks the beginning of the "IsoBoost" Program with the very important position of trunk rotation. Even though certain types of isometrics can be very intense, we will be performing isometrics for the purpose of muscle activation, so the resistance used should not include shaking or cramping. Begin with hip approximation isolated hip and trunk rotation, followed by trunk rotation only.
Next, we will move to a "long-sit" with a yoga belt to incorporate shoulder and trunk rotation isometrics followed by some classic oblique crunches. The mini ball will be incorporated.
As we come to a prone position, we will work on trunk extension, rotating from the neck, upper back, and shoulders with lumbar stability. We will practice rotation in sitting, all fours, and face-down / prone positions.
You should feel more energized, less painful, and more flexible with improved strength.
