IsoBoost Program

IsoBoost Program

This program starts February 10, 2025!

This program consists of 15 isometric workouts, all 30 minutes in length to help muscles engage more efficiently. Isometric exercises involve contracting your muscles without moving the joint or changing the muscle length. Imagine holding a plank or pressing your hands together firmly – that's an isometric exercise in action. Research shows strength can improve by 5% weekly with just 6 seconds of effort at 65% max force. This program can be performed progressively or individually to meet your current needs.

There is minimal equipment required, and I will give you alternative household items to use. *See links below if you want to purchase what I am using!

Here are some reasons to do isometrics:
1. Strength Gains: Studies have shown that isometric exercises can effectively increase strength, particularly at the specific joint angle where the exercise is performed.  
2. Blood Pressure Management: Interestingly, recent research suggests that isometric exercises, especially when done consistently, can contribute to lowering blood pressure.  
3. Rehabilitation: Isometric exercises are often used in rehabilitation programs as they can help strengthen muscles without putting excessive stress on joints.  
4. Improved Stability: These exercises can enhance joint stability and core strength, which is crucial for overall fitness and injury prevention.  
5. Convenience: Isometric exercises require minimal to no equipment, making them easy to do anywhere, anytime.  
6. Time Efficiency: You can get a good workout in a short amount of time with isometric exercises.
7. Low Impact: They are gentle on your joints, making them suitable for people with joint issues or those recovering from injuries.  
8. Versatility: Isometric exercises can be incorporated into various fitness routines, from strength training to yoga or Pilates.
9. Positional strengthening: Isometrics increase strength across a 15° range and recruit 10% more muscle fibers than dynamic moves.
