Isometric Push Up
Exercise Overview
ISOMETRIC PUSH-UP This is an isometric hold version of the conventional push-up exercise. Start with your hands placed at roughly the level of your lower pec line on the floor and keep your hands wider than shoulder distance. Keep the feet at roughly hip distance apart and knees straight. Keep the core braced to maintain a neutral spine. Begin to lower your body to the bottom position and hold the bottom position for 5-7 seconds before raising the body back up with a push up.
