Having gone through the comments section for the 20 isometric holds list, well, let me make it myself. Need to get a printout now, so can have a look at it from time to time. Calisthenics practitioner here, the single arm plank and bicep hold are challenging and functional like no other. Thanks Ryan, keep rocking. #1 Wall sit #2 Sumo squat #3 Calf raise #4 Static lunge #5 Hamstring curl #6 Active beast #7 Forearm plank #8 Side plank #9 Glute bridge #10 Superman hold #11 Straight bridge #12 Floor-assisted L-Sit #13 Straight-arm plank #14 Leaning straight-arm plank #15 Biceps plank #16 Single-arm plank #17 Wall T-hold #18 Bent arm pike #19 Hollow body #20 Chest to Wall handstand
Thanks for the list! So, I'm not sure if this was ever intended to be a sequence of moves... but I tried to reorganize it into a 26 minute workout. I had some fun trying to rearrange them to be more doable in succession (trying to alternate more between upper/lower and harder/easier moves). But I'd love to know your thoughts. #1 Wall sit #2 Straight-arm plank #3 Sumo squat #4 Floor-assisted L-Sit #5 Glute bridge #6 Static lunge #7 One arm plank #8 Hamstring curl #9 Active beast #10 Forearm plank #11 Side plank #12 Superman hold (break before a super hard move) #13 Biceps plank #14 Straight bridge #15 Wall T-hold #16 Hollow body #17 Leaning straight-arm plank (break again before another super hard move) # 18 Bent arm pike #19 Calf raise #20 Chest to Wall handstand I set an interval timer for 26 one-minute work intervals and 12 second rests between exercises. 24 working minutes allows you to complete all exercises. But I take extra rest time before bicep plank and bent arm pike. Those things are crazy :)
Isometrics are great for mental health. If I have trouble getting out of bed, off the couch or out of my house, a few minutes of these stimulates my brain enough to get me going, and it improves my mood.
Wow-- As someone who struggles with my own mental health issues, this makes SO much sense. There are days I struggle to get going at all and I am definitely going to take your advice and try to use some of these exercises to help!! Thanks you
@@sauerkraut8881 set an alarm for 50-55 minutes, every time it rings go for a 5-10 minute brisk walk. Try it for a few days, feels so good once you get into it.
Been doing 17 of these plus 50-90 pushups 5/6 days for 11 months. Lost 42 lbs. 4 in off waist. Ended 25 years of disc pain. Lost weight turned every yearly physical category to positive. No sh*t. Thank you for this video it actually changed my life in a positive way.
I am 53 and my body is aching at the joints. I was praying now and thinking whether I could devise an overall fitness routine to fix my problem. After finishing my prayer session, I opened TH-cam and found your video. Just what I need at this point in time. Frankly, yours is outstanding as it covers all aspects of the body and is also challenging while being extremely do-able. Great!!!
I am a 48 year old woman from India. I practice yoga, I was lookin for some advanced exercises which would help me get rid if my feet pain which I had developed recently, I chanced upon your isometric exercises, I was able to do all the 20 exercises, I started with 15 breathe counts each, it was magical, it has definitely helped me a lot, also I feel there are many more benifts to reap from this, I will definitely include these into my daily fitness regime. thanks a lot for sharing. God bless.
Isometric workouts are great for someone with a weak lower back or suffering from degenerative disc. These workouts will strengthen the muscle without putting pressure on back because there is no or very less movement involved with each type exercise. Thank you for providing us these exercises.
among the eons of videos on exercise, I find this one exceptionally good. Simple, no annoying music or long conversation and straight to the point. Should be a template to those many producing unbearably tedious exercise videos
Hi there, I'm a almost 35 years dutch woman. Hard trying to begin with calisthenics exercises and other home workouts. This is awesome, but I'm flabbergasted how hard it is! Succes to everyone!
I used to do isometrics many years ago and I can testify it works so well, no need to go to the gym either but the results are way faster and easier than paying for it.
I just love this video. I was a gym frick, looking at your workout I wish I knew this before. BTW I am 65 and I definitely will try them all and let you know. Starting tomorrow 6-9-24. Anyone else? ❤❤
Look up Dr. Lee Merrit. She has a theory that MS is actually a parasite which can be detoxified out of your body using a pharmaceutical which was made famous by our former President and this is why they they started covering it up... he was calling out something known to cure many health problems and Big Pharma would lose BILLIONS if you knew what it can do.
Have you heard of the Coimbra Protocol utilizing vit D3 and Magnesium as an alternative treatment in MS? Cheap supplements worth looking at. Based on a Brazilian MDs findings and research regards autoimmune diseases. God speed.
This has been an incredible video I share with my patients who have high blood pressure. Recent research further confirms that isometrics are among the best exercises for those with hypertension.
. I read your comment stating you suffer from high BP. I am 72 and had the same issue. I got the idea of taking L-citruline powder in a 3g dose from another person, my age, who also suffered the same malady. It took about four days to take effect. Now my BP is between 116/68 and 119/78. A far cry from the high 140s and 150s I was running. It is something your body makes but as we age we start losing it. I buy it at Bulk Supplements and it runs under 20 dollars plus S/H for a month supply(250g). I just ordered my second month supply. Hope this helps you.
The one of the purposes of Hatha Yoga is to hold the position for as long as possible without moving, for at least an hour, working up to it, the first and orginal isometric exercise, as well as Taoist martial arts and Shaolin iron shirt exercises. No need to reinvent the wheel.. Great video. Thank you🙏🏽
@johnbishop9000 they are also asanas in yin, vinyasa, Pilates and qigong. Variety is the spice of life I enjoy all of them daily. Keeps me balanced, supple and agile at 64 years young :)
To say isometrics make no sense at all is like saying handstands front levers dead hangs and full L-sit all don't make sense but people all of over the world reap the benefits from it
I disagree. My isometric workouts end in screams of anguish and shrieks of pain. Sometimes, I swear I can hear my muscles cry in agony, and hurling insults at my brain for deciding to do them. Just saying...
Yes, they're great "no excuse" exercises that you can truly do anytime, anywhere. Apartment living, while on vacation, while kids are asleep, while watching TV or listening to an audiobook, and at any age, though you may need to work up to and modify them a bit if very out of shape or older adult.
Hi, I use to be a regular gym goer, for about 2 yrs I was focusing on pulls up and body weight exercises. I came across your videos and made the decision to end my gym membership. I now workout at a park it has a few basic equipment parallel bars and a pull up bar. I'm thoroughly enjoying being away from the gym and will definitively try some of your workouts. Thank you 😊
If one exercises via Isometrics intensely to the point of fatigue, one notices that his or her energies and stamina get depleted more and more as the program progresses. The BEAUTY of thIs DESIGN is that he starts with the more intense exercises, then tapers to the less intense, and from there alternates between less to high intensity, to allow the exercisers to recover his or her energies again, and keep the momentum going. Great video. God bless us all.
These are really awesome because of the slowness/hold. Helps my ADD too. Can you do a full timed demo of this entire routine? As in do each step with the rest of us. I understand it'll take up your time, but pls give it a think. Thanks again, coach.
I’ve been back into training for the past four years and haven’t been very satisfied and have consistently had to fight pain. I’m a sufferer of hypermobility and started researching better exercises. It lead me to this video so I will incorporate these exercises into my regimen.
Excellent Minus the Gym, thank you. I've been advocating isometrics since 1984, and almost 60 years, never joined a gym in my life, heart resting rate of 28bpm. So refreshing to come across your video - I subscribed.
Wow! That is a very low and almost unheard of resting HR! Even lower than top cyclists! How did you achieve that -- do you do any cardio, HIIT, Pranayama, heart-strengthening exercises?
@@0anant0 I did that by creating my own exercise routine when I was diagnosed with Osteo Arthritis, requiring a total hip replacement (just received that 2.5 weeks ago). In my 3rd year of this condition, I continued with cardio, HIIT, and workout on the Olympic rings. Cardio 3 times per week late afternoon - 3,000 skips in sets of 200, interspersed with pushups (200-300 total), crunches (200 total), and planks (5 minute total - no more than 30 seconds each set interval). In the morning 3 times per week, very slow jog around a three hundred metre oval, stopping every 150m to do 10-20 push ups, 10 laps = 3km easy and anywhere between 200-400 push ups (proper push ups). When I added the morning routine my heart rate went from 32 to 28 in 4 weeks. I had to stop jogging in the 4th year, and replaced this with doing 2,000 punches on the boxing bag in sets of 200, interspersed with 10x100 lots of skipping (total 2,000) and included curls and uprigh rows, crunches for intensity. I worked the Olympic rings 2-3 times per week doing knee lifts as far as possible, arms downward, reverse pulls - legs extended on ground, and upside down pull ups. Just worked around the hip, as I was no longer able to run (400m - 7km), row, or cycle, due to inability of hip flexing. I also did some reverse dips in my spare time. I love this video because I have let my isometrics go a bit, so these are a great reminder for me to re-engage in isometrics, as I work through my rehabilitation presently. Of course, eat sensibly, and try and sleep at least 6.5-7 hours per night (I know, should be more). As a Christian, I also pray lots and read the Bible, which has a personal health, as well as spiritual benefit, e.g. "Do not be wise in your own eyes. Fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your body and strength to your bones." (Proverbs Chapter 3, Verse 7, 8) When we apply God's word to our lives, our body is strengthened, as well as our Spirit (His Spirit in us, when we received Christ as Lord and Saviour) - the literal meaning of this word body, is navel, signifying the good digestion. Additionally we should enjoy marrow to our bones - or a healthy immune system as the marrow is the producer of blood cells - which is especially topical and relevant during COVID, and flu season - Hope this helps you.
@@firstbornjordan Thanks for a detailed reply and a lot of good advice! I will try to incorporate what you have said in my routines, esp strict form for push-ups. I am currently recovering from tendinitis in my right elbow and it gives me a chance to re-think my workout routine. Thanks again for such valuable info!
Really good video. Started doing some of these 4 weeks after inguinal hernia surgery. Short periods for half the exercises at first and then gradually increased and included some of the other exercises. Your explanations are so clear and easy to follow and this video is perfect during lockdown. Many thanks.
Hi , Few years back I had inguinal hernia and got repaired. I would like to workout to improve my fitness level, gain weight and be in good shape. Request your advice on the below points. 1.What kind of exercises to be done that can strengthen the area near groin which can prevent the ocurance of hernia especially related to weight lifting. 2.What kind of exercises have the risk of causing hernia. Knowledge of this will help to avoid those excercises. 3.What abs workout can be done without the hernia risk. It would be great if you can post a video in this regard so others can also be benefited. Thanks.
This is GREAT! Thank you! Your explanations are excellent.... this is a great gift. Very challenging with absolutely no equipment and every exercise is possible no matter what your skill level. thank you
I also have a flat foot, so I try to push the ground using the heels and the balls of my foot, contracting the arch. If you step into a sandbox, your footprint would remind a triangle. The mid glutes should be engaged to prevent or reduce wobbling on your knees. I would do isometrics for mid glutes before going to lunges and squat.
Good stuff. As someone studying yoga, I think a lot of these could be improved even further by engaging your arms, shoulders, and traps as well by holding your arms above your head.
Class video mate, these workouts are vastly under rated in the fitness community. The pump, and strength you gain is impressive and its minimal risk of injury. Also trains the form and posture for each movement .
All those planks work the stomach with no crunches. It's all internal! The bear plank is easier than most. This is great reminder! These exercises work the arms, stomach, back, waist, balance, thighs, feet etc! Amazing!
Wall sit.What a burn! I do that with one leg against the floor, when on my comp. and the whole top of my thigh gets a workout.. just try to push a hole in the floor Horse stance, good also
Awesome, awesome, awesome. I love it. Thanks. I'm a person with limited mobility because I tore both of my hamstrings and have severe sciatica. I'm going to start doing these to get better in shape. I know, Eric Cartman says round is a shape.
The plank is my pure cure for my back pain and sciatica,this is what I discovered on doing it every day and before I stand up from my bed. Here you give us an unlimited varieties of planks. You make my hole days.Thank you so much.
@@monsieurLDNdiscipline isn’t how you punish a kid, it’s how you raise a kid. Discipline is how adults prioritize values over comfort and dopamine seeking, which lead us to an early and unhappy grave. Discipline is positive practice, not a punishment. Parents raising kids like it’s punishment is why society is disintegrating, and everyone is depressed.
I was looking for something would aggregate my knees as I have osteoarthritis and am in need of knee replacements.I am going to try this to build strength back in my legs, well over all body. I will let you know how it went.
For a great core, you already proved that you don't always have to be lifting weights. Did today most of them in 2 sets around 20-45 seconds per set up to the 14th. I tried to do the L sit, but leaned backwards to do it. Very challenging exercises. Thanks.
i was originally planning to have this as my active rest day set, and due to being busy at work, thankful for this set i can still have my workout without taking much time.
I just love all kind of training. When it is not fun anymore or progression stops, it's time to add something new in the training. I feel sorry for the people stuck in the gym, doing same exercises year after year, with no progress of any kind. These are very common in our martial arts training, which we also include static holds for neck, something called russian strength exercise, and we are doing these in the end of a training session when we are exhausted
Wow! For health reasons, I cannot use my body in the movement as soon as there is force used (under pain of very very strong pain) and suddenly, your video appears to me like a miracle, I do not 'I didn't stop despairing of finding a kind of "immobile gymnastics" and to be honest, I no longer believed in it. This video is perfect for me, especially since we can choose the exercises. I can never give you back what I owe you. May life protect you and all those you love. signed: thanks to you, a desperate former.
U can also do "curls" by standing close to the wall facing it,and then pushing upward against the wall with hands facing outward,keeping the biceps flexed.this will also hit the triceps as well.Might be easier to do within a door jam,w palms against the outside of the door jam,elbows held about shoulder width tight.
I've been losing fat and building muscle during this quarantine with Hiit training. I'm really motivated to try calisthenics and this video is just perfect to start, thank you!
Isometric exercises are excellent and a great way to mix up your workouts. I've saved this and thanks very much for sharing boss. I'll do several of these exercises to keep getting more flexible and stronger and enjoy the journey of course! Peace.
This is great! I can't do all of them by any means, but this is great information for me to create my own workout and goes beyond the usual like 2 exercises I've seen elsewhere. Thank you!
Hi congratulations very good video. Myself I am doing wall sit with arm opened to 180 and elbows in 90 degree flexion, hands against the wall, this way the anterior chest and pectoral muscles are under strech and the shoulders are externally rotated. Thanks
Thank you. Just seen your video, very clear, concise , instructions & demonstrations exactly what I’m looking for. I’ve joined the team & subscribed ✊🏾💯🇬🇧
It's amazing what you can do without any equipment at all. I've reduced mine down to a couple of bands and a pull up bar. No weights, no machines. My gym goes where I go.
Thanks Ryan, look awsome, hope this set of execrise will brings me back to great fitness. One of them was impossible, 2-3 a bit hard, but all together looks possible!
Great video thank you. Just wanna add one thing for those unacustomed to exercise just so no one gets discouraged.Hollow body is an amazing exercise. If you only do one of these that's the one. Now if your starting out you can make it easier by lessening what is elevated. Try it with your arms by your sides until you work up. If that's still too much keep arms at sides and bend your knees a little bit. Don't be hard on yourself. First get that core in shape and you'll be amazed what you can do once all those muscles ar strong. It will increase strength and mobility throughout your whole body. Also when just starting out try holding just until you start to feel it and do a little every day. You'll build up faster than you think and if you don't go til exhaustion chanced are you won't be hurting the next day. If you do go til it hurts you'll end up having to take a few days off and than you're just starting from scratch. In the beginning less strain, more gain. All that feel the burn nonsense is only good if you wanna build mental strength which is great later on. In the beginning just get your muscles back in shape like when you were a kid. Healthy happy training happy people. Amituofo!

Isometrics are also good for joints but typicaly for joints you need to "max out" using weights or cables.
Any fitness tutor who has exercise ideas to be fit without using any weights or equipments is a legend in my eyes.

In the morning 3 times per week, very slow jog around a three hundred metre oval, stopping every 150m to do 10-20 push ups, 10 laps = 3km easy and anywhere between 200-400 push ups (proper push ups). When I added the morning routine my heart rate went from 32 to 28 in 4 weeks.
I had to stop jogging in the 4th year, and replaced this with doing 2,000 punches on the boxing bag in sets of 200, interspersed with 10x100 lots of skipping (total 2,000) and included curls and uprigh rows, crunches for intensity. I worked the Olympic rings 2-3 times per week doing knee lifts as far as possible, arms downward, reverse pulls - legs extended on ground, and upside down pull ups. Just worked around the hip, as I was no longer able to run (400m - 7km), row, or cycle, due to inability of hip flexing. I also did some reverse dips in my spare time.
I love this video because I have let my isometrics go a bit, so these are a great reminder for me to re-engage in isometrics, as I work through my rehabilitation presently. Of course, eat sensibly, and try and sleep at least 6.5-7 hours per night (I know, should be more).
As a Christian, I also pray lots and read the Bible, which has a personal health, as well as spiritual benefit, e.g. "Do not be wise in your own eyes. Fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your body and strength to your bones." (Proverbs Chapter 3, Verse 7, 8) When we apply God's word to our lives, our body is strengthened, as well as our Spirit (His Spirit in us, when we received Christ as Lord and Saviour) - the literal meaning of this word body, is navel, signifying the good digestion.
Additionally we should enjoy marrow to our bones - or a healthy immune system as the marrow is the producer of blood cells - which is especially topical and relevant during COVID, and flu season - Hope this helps you.
@@firstbornjordan Thanks for a detailed reply and a lot of good advice! I will try to incorporate what you have said in my routines, esp strict form for push-ups. I am currently recovering from tendinitis in my right elbow and it gives me a chance to re-think my workout routine. Thanks again for such valuable info!
@@0anant0 Absolutely a pleasure - I still have much to learn myself - never stop learning.
Really good video. Started doing some of these 4 weeks after inguinal hernia surgery. Short periods for half the exercises at first and then gradually increased and included some of the other exercises. Your explanations are so clear and easy to follow and this video is perfect during lockdown. Many thanks.
Hi ,
Few years back I had inguinal hernia and got repaired. I would like to workout to improve my fitness level, gain weight and be in good shape.
Request your advice on the below points.
1.What kind of exercises to be done that can strengthen the area near groin which can prevent the ocurance of hernia especially related to weight lifting.
2.What kind of exercises have the risk of causing hernia. Knowledge of this will help to avoid those excercises.
3.What abs workout can be done without the hernia risk.
It would be great if you can post a video in this regard so others can also be benefited.
Thanks.
Really enjoyable and empowering exercises for an over 50-thank you!
Many of the movements we use in Pilates thank you for the upload
This is GREAT! Thank you! Your explanations are excellent.... this is a great gift. Very challenging with absolutely no equipment and every exercise is possible no matter what your skill level.
thank you
I also have a flat foot, so I try to push the ground using the heels and the balls of my foot, contracting the arch. If you step into a sandbox, your footprint would remind a triangle. The mid glutes should be engaged to prevent or reduce wobbling on your knees. I would do isometrics for mid glutes before going to lunges and squat.
You are so clear in your instruction. You are a great teacher. Very informative. I will definitely be trying these. Thanks
These are great for seniors
Good stuff. As someone studying yoga, I think a lot of these could be improved even further by engaging your arms, shoulders, and traps as well by holding your arms above your head.
Yes, they are all yoga moves! 😂
Thanks for this. Great video and tips :)
Class video mate, these workouts are vastly under rated in the fitness community. The pump, and strength you gain is impressive and its minimal risk of injury. Also trains the form and posture for each movement .
Thanks for sharing! It's confirmation on what I've been thinking for a long time.
A true gem of an exercise regimen. Thank you ever so much for sharing these isometric exercises with us. God bless you.
This is the best compilation of isometric hold exercises, thank you Ryan 🤘
Love love your isometrics. Thank you very much for taking the time to do this video, I downloaded it so I can do these exercises daily.
You are a legend. I found this exercises so much helpful.
Thanks took a month break from physical exercises due to over doing it and caused joint and knee pain. I will do these tomorrow thanks again!
An outstanding presentation thanks!
All those planks work the stomach with no crunches. It's all internal! The bear plank is easier than most. This is great reminder! These exercises work the arms, stomach, back, waist, balance, thighs, feet etc! Amazing!
Great stuff, my home gym is pretty well kitted but always feel the need to do extra body weight stuff too. Really useful, thank you!
Wall sit.What a burn! I do that with one leg against the floor, when on my comp. and the whole top of my thigh gets a workout.. just try to push a hole in the floor
Horse stance, good also
Awesome, awesome, awesome. I love it. Thanks. I'm a person with limited mobility because I tore both of my hamstrings and have severe sciatica.
I'm going to start doing these to get better in shape. I know, Eric Cartman says round is a shape.
I really enjoy your videos. Thank you!
❤
Thanks! Glad you enjoy them 😊
Thank you ! for explaining these positions, feel so good as I have been teaching yoga and movement and am 74 and do all these positions
Yup. This is a mix of yoga and Qigong 😊
The plank is my pure cure for my back pain and sciatica,this is what I discovered on doing it every day and before I stand up from my bed. Here you give us an unlimited varieties of planks. You make my hole days.Thank you so much.
Wall sit is given as punishment in school if we forgot to do homework. Now it's an exercise
Same at my end... 😁
it was not a punishment, it was thoughtful to teach you discipline, body awareness, focus and strength in the spare time you got :)
@@monnoo8221 that's an interesting way to say punishment
@@monsieurLDN did not intend to find a wordy envelop.... it was teaching and punishment... weights of those depending on the perspective
@@monsieurLDNdiscipline isn’t how you punish a kid, it’s how you raise a kid. Discipline is how adults prioritize values over comfort and dopamine seeking, which lead us to an early and unhappy grave.
Discipline is positive practice, not a punishment. Parents raising kids like it’s punishment is why society is disintegrating, and everyone is depressed.
Excelentes dicas campeão é like e voou me inscrever com certeza
This is GREAT!!! 💪🏽🔥💪🏽🔥💪🏽🔥
Great stuff, had a couple of injuries and this vid really useful daily. More please about working with injuries. Cool.
I was looking for something would aggregate my knees as I have osteoarthritis and am in need of knee replacements.I am going to try this to build strength back in my legs, well over all body. I will let you know how it went.
great thank you I have just stumble here and tried all the exercises out and feel great. I will add some of these to my morning orutine.
I feel really good doing this exercises and i am glad that my guiding master recommend me your chanell. Keep up this good work!
Hi! Just Found Ur channel and since I saw the first excercise I figured out how peacefully and harmonically you make it seems to be. You are a master.
For a great core, you already proved that you don't always have to be lifting weights. Did today most of them in 2 sets around 20-45 seconds per set up to the 14th. I tried to do the L sit, but leaned backwards to do it. Very challenging exercises. Thanks.
Minus pull up variations you have everything covered. This is tremendous. I go under table or bed to pull myself and hold.
i was originally planning to have this as my active rest day set, and due to being busy at work, thankful for this set i can still have my workout without taking much time.
That was incredibly useful! I really appreciate your hard work in putting this video together. Thank you!
I just love all kind of training. When it is not fun anymore or progression stops, it's time to add something new in the training. I feel sorry for the people stuck in the gym, doing same exercises year after year, with no progress of any kind.
These are very common in our martial arts training, which we also include static holds for neck, something called russian strength exercise, and we are doing these in the end of a training session when we are exhausted
The biceps plank is killer! Also, maybe one could combine the wall sit and wall T hold, for extra stability and saving time. Thank you!
Wonderfull video, I Will try each one of these exercises. Thank you very much.
Wow!
For health reasons, I cannot use my body in the movement as soon as there is force used (under pain of very very strong pain) and suddenly, your video appears to me like a miracle, I do not 'I didn't stop despairing of finding a kind of "immobile gymnastics" and to be honest, I no longer believed in it.
This video is perfect for me, especially since we can choose the exercises. I can never give you back what I owe you. May life protect you and all those you love. signed: thanks to you, a desperate former.
Absolutely fantastic video.... Such clarity .... Clear voice .....🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
"20 Isometric Exercises Anyone Can Do."
I love the fact that you thought highly of me, regardless of my true ability.
😅😅😅😅 yep!
your true ability is your headache.
Same, specially the last one 🤣🤣
He didn’t say everyone , he said anyone . Very different .
😂🤣😂🤣😂
U can also do "curls" by standing close to the wall facing it,and then pushing upward against the wall with hands facing outward,keeping the biceps flexed.this will also hit the triceps as well.Might be easier to do within a door jam,w palms against the outside of the door jam,elbows held about shoulder width tight.
I've been losing fat and building muscle during this quarantine with Hiit training. I'm really motivated to try calisthenics and this video is just perfect to start, thank you!
Isometric exercises are excellent and a great way to mix up your workouts. I've saved this and thanks very much for sharing boss. I'll do several of these exercises to keep getting more flexible and stronger and enjoy the journey of course! Peace.
Principal Skinner: Mmmmm, isometric exercises!
Just stretching my calves on the windowsill
Bonjour de la France et merci pour ces exercices qui me font beaucoup de bien…
EXCELLENT exercises to build strength. I guess it shoukd take about 45 minutes or so and is going to be fun. Thanks
inspired! there always seems to be some restrictions with less equipment but maybe I just needed the inspiration
This is great! I can't do all of them by any means, but this is great information for me to create my own workout and goes beyond the usual like 2 exercises I've seen elsewhere. Thank you!
Good reminder to isolate full body work out slow n steady Yes
You are amazing
God bless you dear🙏😊

Thank you. Just seen your video, very clear, concise , instructions & demonstrations exactly what I’m looking for. I’ve joined the team & subscribed ✊🏾💯🇬🇧
It's amazing what you can do without any equipment at all. I've reduced mine down to a couple of bands and a pull up bar. No weights, no machines. My gym goes where I go.
Thanks Ryan, look awsome, hope this set of execrise will brings me back to great fitness. One of them was impossible, 2-3 a bit hard, but all together looks possible!
Video is awesome and followable.It may be more informative if the time schedule for each exercise and rest are shown.
Loved it!!! Great video and very thorough explanations.
This is awesome! Thank you!
Looking forward to doing this with my kids
Thank you for the inspiration! And I appreciate you don’t have any visible tattoos.
thank you mr johnny!
When he said “gymless friends” I felt that.
Great video bro,i’m definitely inserting these into my morning stretches
I miss the gym so much!
thanks - how long should we hold each pose?
Found some exercises there I’ve never seen before . Excellent stuff 💪👍
Good stuff. I already do the wall chair. Thumbs up.
Great video thank you. Just wanna add one thing for those unacustomed to exercise just so no one gets discouraged.Hollow body is an amazing exercise. If you only do one of these that's the one. Now if your starting out you can make it easier by lessening what is elevated. Try it with your arms by your sides until you work up. If that's still too much keep arms at sides and bend your knees a little bit. Don't be hard on yourself. First get that core in shape and you'll be amazed what you can do once all those muscles ar strong. It will increase strength and mobility throughout your whole body. Also when just starting out try holding just until you start to feel it and do a little every day. You'll build up faster than you think and if you don't go til exhaustion chanced are you won't be hurting the next day. If you do go til it hurts you'll end up having to take a few days off and than you're just starting from scratch. In the beginning less strain, more gain. All that feel the burn nonsense is only good if you wanna build mental strength which is great later on. In the beginning just get your muscles back in shape like when you were a kid. Healthy happy training happy people. Amituofo!
Calm voice, nice exercising.
How many days a week do you do these exercises
Thanx for training! Wall plank iI do with push ups.Several exercises i never seen . Thank you!!!
your selfless sharing is appreciated by all people, notably my elderly group at my home. Thanks for your video and we would all learn to do.
Thank you for sharing your expertise freely. I appreciate it so much

@@CarlosGonzalez-ll6xx most people, for their goals, don't need a gym. The select few that actually do would never keep a gym financially sustainable.
