Static: effective exercises that help you lose weight
A beautiful body requires some effort. If you're really struggling, then you're on the right track. And you don't have to do crazy cardio or frantically pull dumbbells. There are other, less dynamic exercises that will make your muscles burn. We're talking about statics. In this article, you'll learn why locking in one position will improve your performance far more than running in place. Ready, set, freeze!
What are static exercises?
Isometric or static exercise is when you fix your body in a certain position and hold it motionless for several seconds or minutes. All that time, your muscles don't relax and your joints don't move. To stay in one pose, you have to put a lot of effort. And the longer you can stay like that, the better your workout will be.
The benefits of static:
✅ Promotes weight loss.
Strengthens ligaments: tendons and joints.
✅ Improves posture
✅ Increases physical endurance
✅ Works all body muscles effectively
✅ Develops coordination
✅ A beautiful body
Below are 6 static exercises. You need to stay in one position for 30 seconds and then add 30 seconds every day until you end up with 3 minutes of stay in one position.
Wide leg squats
Place your feet shoulder-width apart, feet slightly apart, hands at your waist or in front of you. Sit upright, parallel to the floor and feel the tension in your inner legs, gluteus muscles and front thigh muscle.
Stool
This exercise will help strengthen your glutes, shins, thighs, and abs. Lean your back against a wall and squat to parallel with the floor so that you have a 90-degree angle in your knees.
Suitable for all types of stretches.
Glute bridge with leg up
Lie on your back, bend your knees, and extend your arms along your torso. Lift your pelvis and pull your right leg up. Repeat the same with your left leg.
Plank on elbows
Take a forearms rest, legs outstretched, shoulder blades down, chest outstretched. Don't slouch or arch your back. Spoiler: one minute in this position will seem like an eternity.
Plank on straight arms.
Everything is the same as in the classical plank, but the emphasis is performed on outstretched arms.
Boat
Lie on stomach, stretch arms in front of you. At the same time, take your arms and legs off the floor.
