  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ส.ค. 2020
  • This dumbbell dynamic and isometric workout is using isometric training combined with dynamic movements to target your entire upper body including shoulders, chest, back, arms and also core!
    Isometrics is simply a term for a muscle holding its contraction and is neither lengthening or shortening. When performed to a high level of exertion, isometrics will help improve core activation, increase flexibility, strengthen tendons and ligaments, improve body awareness and co-ordination, improved balance and posture! So many benefits of incorporating isometrics into your training!
    You will need a pair of dumbbells and a mat or elbow friendly surface. For your reference, I am using 2 x 8kg dumbbells. Please ensure you select a weight suitable for your strength and abilities.
    The isometric holds are held for 25 seconds each straight into the dynamic version for 25 seconds with 5 seconds to get ready for the next position.

    This isometric upper body workout will aim to improve muscular strength, endurance, and core strength.
    Pease ensure the following when performing certain isometric holds:
    You are engaging your core thorough
    Keep knees slightly bent during standing dumbbell movements and holds.
    Know when you drop to one dumbbell if hold is affecting form or lower back feeling any strain.
    Ensure you don’t hold that breath... try to remain relaxed as much as possible.
    Remember to relax your breathing when holding the contraction and only do to your ability.
    Take a quick break if form being affected as the timer is simply a guide.
    Make these Isometric Exercises as challenging as you possibly can!

    @anthonycarson2541 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    So took your advice Caroline and used 7.5kg DB for this 20 mins. I'm sure you know I loved this. It was tough especially the holds and in particular those held straight out to the front. Had to take a little break on those. The 20mins just flies by but you notice the intensity. Everything flows so well from one to the other and there is little rest thus the amazing pump on the finish.Caroline your arms and shoulders are perfection and something to apsire too, but I can actually notice that my own have developed with similiar defination and cuts. Pretty amazing... so my message to anyone reading is follow along at your own pace day by day and great things will happen. Happy DB Monday Caroline.🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 I hope your celebrating 200K. 😘

    This was great. 8 weeks post prostate cancer surgery. Doing nothing for 8 weeks, I have lost all my cardio and strength. Wan't to do the full one hour full body but best to start off easier and do a 20 Minute upper body. Wow, the weights were low for me but still got to me. Glad to have something online with forest fires and air quality in Oregon terrible. COVID still raging. Great place to start to get that strength back. Hoping to get to the HIIT on Sundays.

    Hi Caroline. I never leave comments on TH-cam videos but I have to for yours because your workouts have done wonders for my mental and physical health! I used to do fitness blender workouts but after 2 years or so, I started finding them a bit easy and wanted to find more challenging workouts. Came across one of your videos 2 months ago and I have been hooked on your workouts ever since! I have gotten stronger and my body is so much more defined (especially my abs!!)
    You have such a positive energy and I have enjoyed every single one of your workouts so far. I hope your channel continues to grow. Looking forward to doing this workout tomorrow!!

    I have incorporated isometric holds into my shoulder routine and it absolutely blowtorches my muscles. I intend to add it to my complete workout. Thank you for the video.

    Having completed around 5 programs from you, I randomly picked this one today because I was short on time but wanted to train my upper body regardless. The isometric holds started off feeling easy but by the time I was in the supine row position, I was noping lmao. Love the effectiveness of this workout! I am going to keep doing these when I am short on time. Love your workouts Caroline!!

    Oh my word!!! This workout was so incredible! Arms were shaking by the end. I had been working my way through various youtube fitness channels since lockdown. While Chloe Ting, Pamela Reif and Madfit are excellent - YOUR CHANNEL IS BY FAR THE BEST!!!! You offer EVERYTHING. diverse and challenging workouts that leave you feeling so satisfied and thrilled throughout the day. I look forward to waking up each morning to train with you - its like training with a friend. Thank you so much for showing us that believing in the dream and working towards it WILL turn that dream into a reality. You have reinvigorated my love for working out again. I no longer feel like "im just in my lounge, i need the gym to be inspired" - you are the inspiration!

    While awaiting the highly anticipated Epic Endgame, I came across this gem after having competed Epic I, II, Heat, III and all the weekly (bi-weekly) series, what an amazingly designed session! The combination of isometric and dynamic movements really hit the spot of challenging the body even with light weights! So very impressed with Caroline's creativity in making every single workout so effective, challenging and fun. This one flew by fast, perfect for a stand alone upper body workout or as an add-on! Repeat worthy for sure! Thank you Caroline!

    I've been looking for a great arm workout. You are awesome! I love the fact you don't edit out the fact that you struggle as I do. That only makes you more endearing to me. I usually don't subscribe to any one but I have to your channel. Thanks for keeping things in real.

  • @lovelylilacseli
    @lovelylilacseli 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Yes, like other users - your workouts are giving me great results! I have been following for about one month now. There is so much variety! And the static holds before the isometric moves has me burning!!

  • @user-th5sy4be7k
    @user-th5sy4be7k 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    this was bonkers!!! i started about a week ago with this routine; i used 5lbs the first time because i didn't know what to expect and didn't want to injure myself. typically, for your workouts, i'll use 10 or 12lb, so 5lb was super weird for me and i became impatient because i wasn't having to push myself!! the past couple times i've done this, i've used 10lb. today, i managed almost every single move with 10lb. i'm so proud of myself! amazing as always, caroline. thank you bunches! ❤
    (5lb = ~2.3kg; 10lb = ~4.5kg; 12lb = ~5.4kg)

    A fantastic workout. The isometric part was tough. It really made me look forward to the dynamic part of the exercise to start. Especially the Renegade Row was challenging (it was almost like the plank, but on one arm). I am definitely heading for the shower now 🚿 💪🏻

  • @cherrypie1832
    @cherrypie1832 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Caroline Girvan: I'm a huge fan of yours and do the workouts that I am able to do. I wonder if you would entertain a suggestion: Create a week's worth of workouts for folks who are older and ----might I add---a bit stiff and creaky. We are a huge market and we are desperate for someone who will offer energetic, challenging workouts that keep us from further damaging joints. For example, lunges are not doable for us; full push-ups are out-of-reach; jumping is frightening to entertain. Thank you for reading!
