Brace yourself for something you might not have heard before.
What if I told you that in 10 seconds you can develop new muscle tissue? Yes, that mean in less than 4 hours per year you can transform your body by adding from 10 – 24 lbs of muscle on to your frame at the same time that drastically reduce your body fat.
I realize that a statement like that probably seems unrealistic right now. In fact, it probably sounds like some crazy story of how a comic book superhero became incredibly strong. Honestly, I wouldn’t blame you for thinking that at all. Actually, I thought the exact same thing when I first heard about what I’m going to share with you now.
But there’s just one little problem though. It’s totally possible. More than that, it’s a reality for thousands of people everyday.
And no, we’re not talking about hard core gym rats on steroids or participating in some outrageous military experiment trying to create super soldiers. These are everyday folks like you and me who hold down 9-5 jobs and simply don’t have time for exercise between dedicating time to the kids and worrying about mortgage payments.
So how exactly do they do it?
The simple answer is a little technique called Isometrics. I’m now going to explain what Isometric exercise is and how you can start doing it while you read the rest of this short article. That’s correct. I mean by the time you’ve finished reading this you will have completed two basic, physique changing exercises, the first to trim and tone your waistline and the second to tone and firm your chest.
Are you ready for this?
Your Isometric abs step by simple step:
1. Sit up tall and straight in your chair.
2. Breathe in deep and draw your stomach in as hard as you can.
3. Now tense up your stomach firm as though you’re bracing for a punch, still keeping it sucked in
4. You feel that tightness in your abs, right? Great, that’s the start of it.
5. Now purse your lips and breath slowly, making a “sssss” sound. You’ll feel your abs getting tighter.
6. As you breathe out, crunch your abs really hard while rotating your hips upwards and your rid cage inwards.
7. You’re almost there! Now breathe all the way out.
8. Finally, just relax.
How did that feel for you? If you did it right, you should feel great. Your abs will be warm, tighter, relaxed and a little bit tired. Now simply do it again and repeat until you’ve finished reading this article. Your abs will be tighter, firmer and more toned tomorrow morning then they are right now. Daily practice of this one simple exercise will tighten and tone your stomach much faster than 1,000 sit ups.
How are your abs doing by the way? A little tired? Okay, take a little break now. Now let’s try another simple iso exercise for the chest.
Your Isometric Hand Press:
1. Stand up tall and straight
2. Hold your arms out straight in front of your chest
3. Bend your elbows slightly, creating a triangle from the wrist to the elbows
4. Now press your palms together
5. As you do this, concentrate on making your chest as tight and solid as possible.
6. After a few seconds you should feel like you’re chest and arms shaking all over because your muscles are tiring as they work really hard. This is the power of Isometrics.
7. Hold this position for about 30 seconds.
8. Release slowly. This is important because after intense contraction, your body needs time to unwind.
So how does that feel. Just repeat that action ten times as you scroll down .
Sadly, a lot of folks are always on the lookout for new fads or machines to help achieve their physical fitness goals and oftentimes Isometrics gets completely overlooked. With a new fitness culture renaissance approaching people are turning back to the old methods while science is discovering some amazing things.
For example, it only takes 10 Seconds to stimulate new muscle growth.
That said, there is one small detail I want to clarify. It has to be incredibly intense stimulus. Isometrics happens to be the most intense exercise in the world and in a little as 10 seconds you can completely exhaust your muscles. The really great thing is it doesn’t matter what your current level of fitness is, because the force you generate while doing Isometrics is in direct proportion to your current level.
This simply means that you can’t go too far with these exercises. Isometrics is also incredibly safe because it doesn’t require any weights (except at advanced levels), making it ideal for anyone. Seniors, folks in physical rehabilitation as well as everyone else too busy to get to the gym.
Ok, if you followed the directions I’ve laid out here, you will have just worked out two of the biggest muscle groups in the body, the chest and the core ab muscles. In a future article, I’ll explain a little more about some of the specific benefits of Isometrics and give you some more exercises to practice as well as reveal how it melts fat while strengthening your digestion system, internal organs and even reversing the aging process.
But for now, enjoy the feeling of having a firm toned waist and a lean powerful chest. Practice these two simple techniques every other day and remember to breath correctly.
