  • Hello everyone!
    This is a 10 minute follow along isometric workout focusing on the upper body!
    The entire upper body will be working on the holds. Try to really engage the muscles to the maximum and hold the contraction.
    The shoulders, triceps, core arms, chest and back will be working to keep the contraction. However your core muscles and lower body will be working also on many of them movements to support and balance you!
    All you will need is a mat and a wall (optional if performing handstand) and no equipment. The isometric holds are held for 20 seconds with 10 seconds to get ready for next hold.
    The routine is as follows:
    Half push up
    Full push up
    Tricep push up
    Wide push up
    One arm plank
    One arm plank
    Side plank
    Side plank
    Pike
    Pike push up
    Crow
    Superman palms down
    Superman palms facing
    Rear fly palms down
    Rear fly palms away
    Lat squeeze
    Wide plank
    Dips
    Handstand
    Handstand lower
    I hope you all enjoy this workout as much as I did! And remember, it’s your workout so change to your ability throughout and push yourself!!!

    It was great and doable apart from Crow pose and those handstands, although I think this is more a confidence than strength issue in my case. Thank you Caroline, isometric strength work is fantastic for defining the body.

    Thank you Caroline. I did this after your Epic III day 43 and I didn’t think I’d be able to do the crow or handstand push up but I didn’t do badly and I feel great! Thank you for pushing us out of our comfort zones and showing us we can do these things if we try.

    You, Caroline...are literally our very own Superwoman. I like the isometric exercises. I can do them, hold the position. I don’t have the strength in my upper body to do normal push-ups but these work for me.
    My body is really responding to your workouts. My triceps are killing me today!
    Hope you’re well. Thanks for the great content.

    Great slow paced strength building workout here. The Crow position ended up being more of Crow “pulses” since I didn’t have the balance to hold it but a few seconds at a time. And I needed help from my mom to help me get up into the handstand and she had to be my spotter to make sure I didn’t fall. But I attempted it and with practice maybe I’ll get better . This is definitely worth a try for all varying fitness levels to do what you can!

    Since doing Pamela Reif's workouts every workout that has regular breaks feels manageable to me😂 I can't do handstands though and I can only hold a low plank position with my elbows completely tucked to my sides. I don't get how people can think wide push ups are easier.
