Isometric Exercise

Isometric exercise involves contracting your muscles without changing their length, meaning there’s no movement in the joint. A common example is holding a plank position or pushing against a wall. These exercises help build strength and endurance by maintaining tension in the muscles. Isometric exercises are often used in rehabilitation because they can be done safely without stressing the joints. They can be incorporated into various fitness routines and are effective for increasing muscle stability and strength, although they may not improve overall flexibility as much as dynamic exercises.
