I wrote about some of my favorites isometrics for improving posture for the American Council on Exercise. These types of exercises are great additions to your workout routine because they help increase coordination, stability, and strength. AKA not moving! The first thing that often comes to mind for people is a plank or a wall sit, but there are so many more options than those two. And they don’t need weights! Isometric exercises are exercises where you create tension in a muscle without changing its length, and when you keep the angle of the joints the same against resistance. This isn’t bad advice, but some of the best exercises I know aren’t “moves” at all. If you’re looking to get stronger and fitter, the first advice you often hear is to start moving more and lifting weights.
