Exercise of the Month - December 2011:
“Isometric Split Squat Holds”
Isometric exercises are those performed with essentially no movement. You simply hold a specific position, while engaging the relative muscle(s) trained. In this example, a split squat bottom position is held for a prescribed length of time. I perform these in the beginning of my lower body routine to engage the major lower body muscle groups (i.e. glutes, hamstrings, quads, etc…)
Perform 5 reps @ 5 seconds each for both legs. Repeat 1-3x.
