20 Isometric Exercises Anyone Can Do (With No Equipment)

[@prometheusrebel5809]

Having gone through the comments section for the 20 isometric holds list, well, let me make it myself. Need to get a printout now, so can have a look at it from time to time. Calisthenics practitioner here, the single arm plank and bicep hold are challenging and functional like no other. Thanks Ryan, keep rocking. #1 Wall sit #2 Sumo squat #3 Calf raise #4 Static lunge #5 Hamstring curl #6 Active beast #7 Forearm plank #8 Side plank #9 Glute bridge #10 Superman hold #11 Straight bridge #12 Floor-assisted L-Sit #13 Straight-arm plank #14 Leaning straight-arm plank #15 Biceps plank #16 Single-arm plank #17 Wall T-hold #18 Bent arm pike #19 Hollow body #20 Chest to Wall handstand

Thanks for the list! So, I'm not sure if this was ever intended to be a sequence of moves... but I tried to reorganize it into a 26 minute workout. I had some fun trying to rearrange them to be more doable in succession (trying to alternate more between upper/lower and harder/easier moves). But I'd love to know your thoughts. #1 Wall sit #2 Straight-arm plank #3 Sumo squat #4 Floor-assisted L-Sit #5 Glute bridge #6 Static lunge #7 One arm plank #8 Hamstring curl #9 Active beast #10 Forearm plank #11 Side plank #12 Superman hold (break before a super hard move) #13 Biceps plank #14 Straight bridge #15 Wall T-hold #16 Hollow body #17 Leaning straight-arm plank (break again before another super hard move) # 18 Bent arm pike #19 Calf raise #20 Chest to Wall handstand I set an interval timer for 26 one-minute work intervals and 12 second rests between exercises. 24 working minutes allows you to complete all exercises. But I take extra rest time before bicep plank and bent arm pike. Those things are crazy :)

Isometrics are great for mental health. If I have trouble getting out of bed, off the couch or out of my house, a few minutes of these stimulates my brain enough to get me going, and it improves my mood.

​. I read your comment stating you suffer from high BP. I am 72 and had the same issue. I got the idea of taking L-citruline powder in a 3g dose from another person, my age, who also suffered the same malady. It took about four days to take effect. Now my BP is between 116/68 and 119/78. A far cry from the high 140s and 150s I was running. It is something your body makes but as we age we start losing it. I buy it at Bulk Supplements and it runs under 20 dollars plus S/H for a month supply(250g). I just ordered my second month supply. Hope this helps you.

Excellent Minus the Gym, thank you. I've been advocating isometrics since 1984, and almost 60 years, never joined a gym in my life, heart resting rate of 28bpm. So refreshing to come across your video - I subscribed.

[@0anant0]

Wow! That is a very low and almost unheard of resting HR! Even lower than top cyclists! How did you achieve that -- do you do any cardio, HIIT, Pranayama, heart-strengthening exercises?

[@firstbornjordan]

​@@0anant0 I did that by creating my own exercise routine when I was diagnosed with Osteo Arthritis, requiring a total hip replacement (just received that 2.5 weeks ago). In my 3rd year of this condition, I continued with cardio, HIIT, and workout on the Olympic rings. Cardio 3 times per week late afternoon - 3,000 skips in sets of 200, interspersed with pushups (200-300 total), crunches (200 total), and planks (5 minute total - no more than 30 seconds each set interval). In the morning 3 times per week, very slow jog around a three hundred metre oval, stopping every 150m to do 10-20 push ups, 10 laps = 3km easy and anywhere between 200-400 push ups (proper push ups). When I added the morning routine my heart rate went from 32 to 28 in 4 weeks. I had to stop jogging in the 4th year, and replaced this with doing 2,000 punches on the boxing bag in sets of 200, interspersed with 10x100 lots of skipping (total 2,000) and included curls and uprigh rows, crunches for intensity. I worked the Olympic rings 2-3 times per week doing knee lifts as far as possible, arms downward, reverse pulls - legs extended on ground, and upside down pull ups. Just worked around the hip, as I was no longer able to run (400m - 7km), row, or cycle, due to inability of hip flexing. I also did some reverse dips in my spare time. I love this video because I have let my isometrics go a bit, so these are a great reminder for me to re-engage in isometrics, as I work through my rehabilitation presently. Of course, eat sensibly, and try and sleep at least 6.5-7 hours per night (I know, should be more). As a Christian, I also pray lots and read the Bible, which has a personal health, as well as spiritual benefit, e.g. "Do not be wise in your own eyes. Fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your body and strength to your bones." (Proverbs Chapter 3, Verse 7, 8) When we apply God's word to our lives, our body is strengthened, as well as our Spirit (His Spirit in us, when we received Christ as Lord and Saviour) - the literal meaning of this word body, is navel, signifying the good digestion. Additionally we should enjoy marrow to our bones - or a healthy immune system as the marrow is the producer of blood cells - which is especially topical and relevant during COVID, and flu season - Hope this helps you.

If one exercises via Isometrics intensely to the point of fatigue, one notices that his or her energies and stamina get depleted more and more as the program progresses. The BEAUTY of thIs DESIGN is that he starts with the more intense exercises, then tapers to the less intense, and from there alternates between less to high intensity, to allow the exercisers to recover his or her energies again, and keep the momentum going. Great video. God bless us all.

[@itsallaroundyou7085]

Great video thank you. Just wanna add one thing for those unacustomed to exercise just so no one gets discouraged.Hollow body is an amazing exercise. If you only do one of these that's the one. Now if your starting out you can make it easier by lessening what is elevated. Try it with your arms by your sides until you work up. If that's still too much keep arms at sides and bend your knees a little bit. Don't be hard on yourself. First get that core in shape and you'll be amazed what you can do once all those muscles ar strong. It will increase strength and mobility throughout your whole body. Also when just starting out try holding just until you start to feel it and do a little every day. You'll build up faster than you think and if you don't go til exhaustion chanced are you won't be hurting the next day. If you do go til it hurts you'll end up having to take a few days off and than you're just starting from scratch. In the beginning less strain, more gain. All that feel the burn nonsense is only good if you wanna build mental strength which is great later on. In the beginning just get your muscles back in shape like when you were a kid. Healthy happy training happy people. Amituofo!

Love isometrics for my terrible, terrible hyper mobility. Has also allowed me to slowly gain more body awareness.

YOU ARE GOATED THANK YOU

[@edrod3578]

Thanks for the full breakdown.

[@brotherlittlefoot2216]

U can also do "curls" by standing close to the wall facing it,and then pushing upward against the wall with hands facing outward,keeping the biceps flexed.this will also hit the triceps as well.Might be easier to do within a door jam,w palms against the outside of the door jam,elbows held about shoulder width tight.

The exercises were good, but it would have been nice to do it as a video class with 40 second holds and 20 second rests.

[@roshankore1]

Superb. All exercises in one video without any BS. Love you

[@elisabeth5578]

A few minutes ago I went on youtube to find an alternative workout for my ring workouts and the first thing i see is your video recommended for me. i will give it a try today! thanks! i think 2 rounds of the 20 exercises are enough. how many rounds would you do? okay, i just did 1 round.. so there is no more question left, i am done! :-D nice challenge!

[@aubinbaldonado]

I agree, I usually do a couple of those during the week, 4 days a week, 2 times each, and it feels awesome.

[@miko57916]
