Exercise impacts your mental and physical wellbeing. It’s also a key component to living a long and healthy life.

Many people have already discovered the positive effects of isometric resistance training. It entails doing seven different workouts, one for each day of the week, so you can work your body evenly.

These workouts emphasize non-impact stretching and strengthening movements, and are designed to target multiple muscle groups, lengthen the spine, improve balance and agility and promote flexibility.

There are benefits for people of all ages – especially seniors and those with physical limitations, who want to retain flexibility and build and increase strength. Here are some other ways an isometric resistance program can help you:

• Keeps muscles working. Muscle mass can be lost with age if the muscles are not exercised frequently. Working these areas in a concentrated way promotes long-term fitness.

• Strengthens the abdominals. Strong abdominal muscles result in a stronger back and more stable middle. Targeting the abdominal area can mean more flexibility, better posture and a higher likelihood of participating in sporting and other fitness activities.

• Keeps bones strong. Regular training helps protect bones and joints, reducing the risk of arthritis-related problems and osteoporosis. The series is designed to help you rehabilitate from injuries or weaknesses.

• Boosts weight loss. Building muscle boosts your metabolism. By working on key muscle groups, you can effectively shed pounds as you maintain a healthy diet.

Self-massage and muscle warm-ups are recommended prior to doing the routines and during all the movements. As with any exercise program, it is recommended to consult a doctor before starting.
