Isometric exercises.

Fitness Zone offered a slightly different definition. According to the article, isometric exercises are those in which a force is applied to a resistant object. An example is pushing against a brick wall -- even though there is a build up of tension in the muscles, there is no actual movement. The web page emphasizes a few points for people thinking about isometric exercises:

To increase strength, it's necessary to maintain a position in any one exercise for 6 to 8 seconds.

The exercise should be repeated 5 to 10 times.

Any one isometric exercise will only increase muscle strength at one joint angle. Strengthening the other joint positions requires repetition of further corresponding exercises.

Isometric exercises on their own are not recommended for strength training. They are only part of a complete exercise program.

If you suffer from heart disease or raised blood pressure, you should steer clear of isometric training. During the muscular contractions in this form of exercise, blood pressure can rise quite dramatically.

You just need to learn how to breathe deeply. Get a book "Be a loser! (Lose inches fast- no diet) by Greer Childers with Bobbie Kats.- N.Y.: "Times Books",1998. It definitely works! ;)
