Have you tried using a stick or broomstick to do your isometric exercises? Using a tool like this can add another dimension to your routine. You can use a stick simply by holding it in your hands and pushing and pulling it in front of you, behind you, and over your head. You must hold each movement for at least 7 seconds.

Vary the distance between your hands from close together to apart to hit the muscles at different angles because you want to work the muscles in more than one position. Try placing one end of the stick on the ground in front of you and pushing it down with both hands or using each hand separately, this will target your back and abs. Push down with one arm and feel your lateral muscle with the other hand, you will notice how it tightens.

There are many ways to do isometric exercises like this. Hold the stick above your head with both of your hands supporting it. Bring your hands together as you squeeze the stick, and then try to pull the stick out. Pushing will target your shoulders and pulling will target your lats. Try using the stick from any position you can think of and vary how close or far your hands are and you’ll get a good workout.

Isometric exercises are great because you can do them anywhere with little to no equipment. You can do them alone or use them in conjunction with weights or bodyweight exercises.
