ISOMETRIC EXERCISES (PART 1)

Hello everyone and welcome to isometric exercises. Anyone can benefit from isometrics...builds speed and strength. And if you play or compete in sports, these exercises will enhance your performance.
TIPS:
1) perform about 5 minutes of light stretching (arms or legs) before starting.
2) have a watch handy
3) do not strain...only 60-70% of your strength
LEGS:1) tie one end of the band around an immovable object, place your right foot inside the loop with your back to the immovable object. Make sure no slack exists in the stretch band. Lift your right foot about 12 inches off the floor and then extend your right leg forward (your knee is not quite waist high) and hold for 10-15 seconds. Your leg may tremble...that's normal. Now do the same with your left leg. 3 sets each leg. 2) Lie on your stomach with feet pointed toward immovable object and with right foot in the loop and knee staying on floor, flex right leg up and hold for 10-15 seconds. now the left leg. 3 sets each leg. 3) Now facing the immovable object, standing, place right foot inside loop..no slack in stretch band, and extend right foot back about 6 inches and hold for 10-15 seconds. Now the left leg. 3 sets each leg. You have now completed exercises for your quads and hamstrings
