BENEFITS OF ISOMETRIC EXERCISE: Core strength and balance. Rebuilding strength after surgery. Building mass. Anti-aging potential. Improved overall physical and mental health. 1. Core strength and balance.  Doing isometric exercises can help build a stable core through the hips, pelvis and spine. Engaging in plank exercises, balancing on variable surfaces and doing static holds can create a "strong internal back brace. 2. Rebuilding strength after surgery.  Keeping an injured body part immobilized while awaiting surgery, or after a surgical procedure, is sometimes an important part of a healthy recovery. Activating your muscles surrounding the injury can improve recovery times and improve recovery strength if isometric exercises are started early on during the recovery phase, and even prior to surgery in many cases. 3. Building mass.  Adding isometric holds to your workout and recovery plan can in some cases help overcome training plateaus. Isometric e

LOSING MUSCLE AFTER 30!....OUCH! STOP THE LOSS...... In your 30s, you start to lose muscle mass and function. The cause is age-related  sarcopenia  or sarcopenia with aging. Physically inactive people can lose as much as 3% to 5% of their muscle mass each decade after age 30.  Even if you are active, you’ll still have some muscle loss. There’s no test or specific level of muscle mass that will diagnose sarcopenia. Any loss of muscle matters because it lessens strength and mobility. Sarcopenia typically happens faster around age 75. But it may also speed up as early as 65 or as late as 80. It’s a factor in frailty and the likelihood of falls and  fractures  in older adults. Isometric exercise can help your neuromuscular system, hormones. It also can improve an older adult's ability to convert protein to energy in as little as two weeks.
