The Forgotten Cardio Superstars: Isometric Exercises

While it is essential, and there is no arguing that exercise plays into the health of your heart, it can be intimidating to think about getting your heart rate up for those who have problematic hearts. The best part is that you can start recognizing the perks without having to break a sweat at a gym. Notice the language here, isometric exercises are incredibly simple but very effective solutions — he’s making a subjective point.

These moves work by squeezing the blood vessels, cutting off blood flow (which is why you want to release each of these contractions to get a big gush of oxygen-rich blood when that contraction releases). Over time, these actions can lead to reduced blood pressure and arterial stiffness, which allows things to work more efficiently for the heart. Isometric training has even been shown to result in larger reductions in resting blood pressure than high-intensity interval training.

The Science behind Isometric Edge

Its efficiency is due to the principles on which they act on our body. When a muscle contracts, it bulges up squeezing all the blood vessels that feed it. This decreased flow of blood will elevate the blood pressure in our arteries, called the “pressor reflex.

When the contraction is turned off, a burst of blood rushes into the vessels and muscle which carries along abundant O2 as well as much-need nitric oxide. This surge makes the blood vessels retract instead of dilate, resulting in hypertension. Experiencing this cycle again and again leads to lower levels of arterial stiffness and chronic hypertension, rendering isometric exercises great for your cardiovascular health.

Unlock The Isolation Advantage: Little Workouts, Big Gains

It is simple and easy to add isometric exercises in your routine. One minute of isometrics at 60% effort and failing afterward, experts advise two minutes a pop, about 30-50% power-level x2 for the day… so in short: four times / day x3 – 5 days/week on them. That’s sufficient to stimulate the physical changes in your heart that will certainly profit it.

A few good isometric exercises to get started with are a static squat, wall sit, plank on your elbows. If you can, start to add some weights into it, or add another isometric exercise. Of course, remember to stick with the same exercise for at least 4-10 weeks to gain the reduced blood pressure and enhanced cardiovascular benefits.
