Hi ladies,
Well it was one of those days when nothing sounded appealing not even the gym. Sigh. I know. I know.
So I have been doing some isometric holds for different muscles incorporating them into my floorwork routine. So today I watched 2 videos that explained different ones and then I attempted to do them.
They were: Pike Hold ( like a downward dog but more emphasis on being on your tiptoes and leaning into your shoulders)
Hollow Body Hold which is laying on the floor with legs out straight off the floor and arms extended up and back with your shoulders off the ground but your small of your back touching the ground.
Wall Sit, though this one I didn't do because I had done something similar a few minutes before. Self explanatory
Horsestance legs more than hip distance apart, squat but with your back straight and hold. I did it against a wall (which is the beginner way) because I have trouble keeping my back straight.
Bear Crawl Hold hands and knees then lift knees 1 inch off floor, make sure your hands are directly inline with your shoulders and hold.
Single Leg Glute Bridge basically just hold your 1 leg out parallel with the knee of the bent leg and lift and hold or you can go up and down.
Single Leg Hold is hard! Standing then go forward and lift leg in the back and balance and hold. Change legs
Plank Elbow Hold do a plank and hold it.
So I did most or attempted to do most which took about 10 minutes.
Then I did parts of Powerstrikes and Bodystrikes for a total of 46 minutes. Hadn't done these in a very long time. Mostly did the warm ups the punches and kicks on the 1st one and the warm up and 1st exercise on the 2nd one.
My own short cooldown and I am sweaty.
Sorry for the length.
It was different.
Have a great day!!
