More On Isometrics

It's been a great journey lately into doing Isometrics daily and the practice of deep breathing. I've lost a little weight but have toned down pretty fast and one one of the secrets is to practice Isometrics throughout the day. Not just pitting muscle against muscle but also using the Isometric Power Belt & Muscle Control hitting as many parts of the body as possible inthe day's time.

Now what's the main purpose of doing this? As you may have read, I'm healing my lower back due to overstressing the muscles and hurting them moving furniture and other appliances this past summer so I've had to take a major step back into letting my back regain strength & mobility using certain movements but more importantly really target the muscles without putting hypertension on them. The muscle control exercises I have added recently into my daily practice has helped in a very short period of time and hold them for time or just do a few seconds of bursts and move on. This helps keep my energy up and keeps highly oxygenated blood flowing throughout the day.

Muscle Control is a lost art and it used to be a staple for Physical Culturists throughout the early 20th century. Now although Muscle Control has been around for thousands of years in various yoga practices around the world and teaching ancient chinese chi practitioners how to control their bodies for sustaining a long and healthy life, the term itself wasn't said until the time of Alois P. Swoboda & men like Maxick and Otto Arco. This type is based on individually flexing and relaxing isolated muscles where you only do one at a time or hitting multiple muscles on command.

These types of Isometrics are more common with bodybuilders but when properly applied, anyone can practice them and it has incredible health benefits such as: Strength to the organs, increased blood flow to energize the body, induces the mind/muscle connection, can increase brain activity, strengthens the joints and ligaments, increases muscular definition and helps with performance in physical activity.

Believe it or not, you can do Isometrics practically anywhere and at anytime throughout the day. You can do them at a park, in the grocery store, stopped at a red light, in your hotel room, waiting in line at the bank, in a chair, in the crowd at a sports game, in between practices for sports and so many other places. Another awesome benefit is that it can help calm the nervous system and relax the body into a meditative state plus from my own experiences, they can help you sleep at night because when you work certain muscles say an hour before bedtime, you're putting in greater blood flow and because it forces you to deep breathe, it brings that endorphin high that helps the body calm down later on and with that sensation, can help you fall asleep.

Make Isometrics a part of your life and see the cool things start to happen to not only your body but your mind as well.
