Isometrics is an exercise in which one uses force on a particular part of the body. Remember when you were a child and you would rock back and forth from your heels to your toes? Well try this again. When you get to your toes, hold the pose for 10 to 15 seconds and then stop. You can do as many of these as you want. This exercise targets your calves. This provides a great example of Isometrics.

The next technique requires you to stand up straight, putting your hands together in front of you. The palms need to be touching and then firmly pressed together. You will feel the muscles in your upper arm start to burn. Hold 10 to 15 seconds and release the resistance. Again, you can repeat this technique as many times as desired.

This next technique also focuses on the arms. While still in an upright, standing position, curl your fingers on both hands and then interlock them. Pull as hard as you can and when you feel the burn in the bottom part of the arms, you are doing it correctly. Hold this for 10 to 15 seconds, release and do it again.

You can perform another technique called the back slide. This requires you to stand against the wall and slide all the way to the floor without sitting down. When you get to the position where you feel the muscles in the leg start to burn, hold your position for 10 seconds. Come back up the wall and repeat this movement.

What you are focusing on is holding the pose with a force in order to target a particular muscle. These are just a few common techniques used in Isometrics.
