Isometrics - ActivBody Activ5 Quick Start Manual

ISOMETRICS

Isometric exercise has been
practiced for over 5,000 years and
is the muscle strengthening
foundation of both yoga
pilates.
What distinguishes isometrics from
other forms of muscle exercise is
that you tense your muscles against
a static object (such as the floor) or
against other muscles, so your
joints are static while multiple
muscle groups are fully engaged.
You may not be moving, but
scientific research has proven that
isometric exercise is one of the
fastest and most efficient ways to
build strength, burn fat and tone
your body.
Because Activ5 isometric exercises
are discrete and static, you can
perform them at your desk, while
watching TV, or on a plane, making
powerful health-transforming
workouts available to you anytime,
anywhere.
Activ5 offers over 100 workouts
ensuring you can always find the
perfect workout, wherever you are.
Activ5 coaches you to vary the
pressure exerted during
and exercise rep, building
control and turning each rep into a
game .
Activbody workouts are based on
fractionalized exercise, or working
out in short bursts throughout the
day. Medical studies have shown
fractionalized exercise can deliver
all the results of longer workouts
while contributing to heart health,
overall well-being, and reducing the
risk of chronic diseases, such as
diabetes.
Activbody Isometrics are fast, fun
workouts that make you stronger
and toned, enabling you to burn
calories faster and keep active
throughout the day.
