HELLO EVERYONE AND WELCOME!
In part one I introduced you to isometrics with focus on legs. Three to five minutes for stretching. The amount of time for each series is two to three minutes.
ISOMETRICS...ARMS: The amout of time would be the same as for legs. Three sets each.
Biceps...either use the same "fixed object" as you did for legs or place one end of the band under your right foot. Now place your right hand at the other end of the resistance band and raise your right hand just above your waist and hold for 15 seconds.Palm of hand is facing up. You are using about 70% of your strength. Now the left arm and if you are using your foot at one end of the band, hold with left foot for the left bicept. Now, next exercise, starting with your right arm, lock wrist and elbow, palm down and raise arm chest high and hold for 15 seconds. Now your left arm. Three sets each . This exercise will not only tone your forearm and shoulder but, you will strengthen both. This is also a great exercise for those of us who compete in softball, tennis, racquetball and golf. Now with your back to the stretch band reach down with your right hand, wrist and elbow locked, with palm facing up, bring arm forward past your body to just above your waist and hold for 10 to 15 seconds. Always remember no slack in the band when starting. Try and do three sets each.
And there you have it folks. Alternate for six days and rest the 7th day.
