Isometric holds (like when we hold in leg work before moving, our grand finale holds, or when we hold our planks) is a form of resistance training that strengthens muscles and improve endurance.
Known benefits include:
Builds and tones muscles (safely)
Increases endurance
Requires less time to see results
Ideal for men and women
Helps build mind-body connection
Increases bone health and makes them stronger
Creates leaned, toned muscles
Improves posture and balance
Holding at the beginning of a posture allows us to quickly get into our muscle. Our grand finale holds at the end of a posture will usually cause shaking, when your muscles contract so intensely as your muscle fibers bear the load of the exercise, holding your body in position and fatiguing the muscles so you can quickly see results.
