Bullworker Iso Bow

I've been hearing about this piece of equipment for a long time and finally caved in and grabbed a pair of them. Perfect for taking on trips like camping, to a park, train in a hotel room, the lake or wherever. It's a great substitute for my Iso Strap (the Isometric Power Belt) as I can do much shorter versions of exercises without the tail end of the strap.

This thing isn't just for Isometric Training, it can even be used for Iso-Dynamic or in other words Isotonic meaning as you move you're also contracting. I've seen several videos of people using them but a favorite is from Primal Play Virtuoso Rocannon MacGregor (aka The Zenkahuna) with his Isometric & Flow Workouts. This guy makes exercise look adventurous and fun to do. Some of my inspiration for quick and fun workouts is from him and his 2 Girl Power Athletes Tara Scott & Marga Madhuri. Together, their sequences are breathtaking and full of expression and dance-like movements. Coach Tara is an incredible athlete in her own right and can move as smooth as you can get.

The Iso-Bow comes with a booklet that shows all kinds of exercises from strength training to flexibility training, Isotonic & Isometrics. There are countless others you can come up with but the book provides some kick ass samples and a weekly routine. I'm already having a blast with it and only done a few workouts. I've added it into my Isometric Training and got some ideas on how to combine it with the strap to get even more creative. That's what I love about training, the ideas you can come up with and the creative aspects to form your own style is what makes it so damn beautiful. 

Today, I went out in the fresh air, dressed like I'm going to a beach party and worked on some Isometric Exercises for about 6 minutes. It's not glamorous or anything like that, just me playing around and working a little routine I came up with on the spot. Shook it off after a few exercises cause the contractions are very intense. I focused on taking a few breaths per exercise to really dig into the muscles and strengthen the joints good. About three breaths or so each. Just having a good time and doing something simple is a great way to go. That's what some of Zenkahuna's workouts represent, other exercises and flows are a bit more complex and advanced but once you get the idea of what he does, it's just inspiring.

Just a few minutes with this thing and you're good to go. You don't need to wear yourself out and call it a day, just play enough to where you still have energy left in the tank and feel like you've been challenged but not on the ground wanting to die. It's about the journey, not the destination. You wouldn't read the last page of a kick ass story would you? It's not the ending that makes it amazing, it's the pathway to the ending. 

Check out the video below and grab yourself an Iso-Bow or a pair for you and a loved one, friend, partner or whatever. Stay strong and be Amazingly Awesome.
