Isometric Exercises Examples

Those who are regular at gyms and body building experts must definitely be knowing what isometric exercises are. For those who are not much in this circuit, allow me to explain what are isometric exercises. Isometric exercises are those exercises where there is a contraction of a muscle without any change in the joint angle and the muscle length. These exercises are either done in static positions opposed by resistance or the joints and muscles are worked against a stationary force. The former is known as the overcoming isometric and the latter is called as yielding isometric. So after all this ranting and raving about isometric exercises, I am sure you would want to know about isometric exercises examples! What do you think?

Examples of Isometric Exercises

These isometric exercises are useful for strength conditioning generally. These are also used in cases where muscle rehabilitation and strengthening sans unnecessary pressure is required. There are basically two types of isometric exercises - The first is the isometric exercise where you push or pull against an immovable object. The second type is a weight that's held steady without moving it. Coming up are some more such exercises.

Isomeric Exercise #1
The first exercise is called the plank bridge and it is a full body exercise. This does not require any equipment. Here goes -

• Lie with your face down on the ground and place your elbows and forearms beneath your chest.
• Lift yourself up to form a bridge with the support of your forearms and toes.
• Your back has to be flat and your hips should not sag towards the ground.
• Be in this position for 10-30 seconds or till you can maintain a flat bridge.

This exercise in your isometric workout is great for your whole body, especially your upper body.

Isomeric Exercise #2
The core exercise which is going to be described now is a part of isometric exercises for legs. Check it out. These are called isometric leg extensions. For doing this, these are the steps -

• Stand next to a bed, around 18 inches high.
• Face away from the bed with the back of your legs against the side of the bed.
• Now bend the right leg and then rest it on the bed which is behind you.
• At this juncture your upper leg has to point straight down and your knee has to be bent to roughly 90 degrees.
• Simultaneously, your lower leg has to rest on the bed, parallel to the floor.
• Finally, push your right leg in the bed as powerfully as possible and hold for 10-30 seconds.

Doing this will strengthen your legs. Try this out!

Isomeric Exercise #3
Shoulder raises is another of the umpteen isometric exercises examples. For doing these though, you need equipment, that is dumbbells. Grab the dumb bells - one in each hand and then hold your arms straight out on your sides. If possible hold this position for around 6 to 8 seconds. Follow that by slowly dropping the arms to your sides. That's it! This is what you need to do for getting toned shoulders and arms.

Isometric Exercise #4
If you are looking at working on your chest muscles, this one amongst isometric exercises examples is perfect. Here is how you can do this exercise.

• Start with your arms bent and hands together in front.
• Now breathe in counting till 4 and after you reach that 4 second mark, gradually exhale as you keep pressing your hands together applying maximum pressure for around 10 seconds.
• Clench your teeth and let out a sound resembling 'sssss' while air goes out through your mouth.
• After you get to the 10 seconds slowly release the pressure from your hands and make sure you are breathing deeply.

Isomeric Exercise #5
With sedentary lifestyles and working on computers for most part of the day, our necks become stiff. This exercise will loosen out your neck and make the neck muscles strong.

• Stand straight with your feet hip distance apart and toes pointing forwards.
• Keep your knees slightly bent and your abs tucked in firmly.
• Now tilt your head straight back as much as possible.
• Place your hands on your forehead and interlock your fingers.
• Gradually bring your head forward as if you are trying to touch your chest with your chin, resisting with your hands and arms.
• Create tension in the neck muscles as you inhale for 3-4 seconds.
• Let your neck be completely tensed and push your head forward to your chest as hard as you can, simultaneously resisting with your arms and exhaling for 7-12 seconds.

Doing this exercise will make your neck muscles stronger and they will be less strained as a result of the daily work pressure.

There are many more isometric exercises examples, for instance isometric exercises for abs, calf muscles and so on. These were just a glimpse of how these are done and what are these. Along with these some very common activities warranting isometric or static strength or involve isometric muscle contraction are climbing, mountain biking and motocross, Judo, wrestling, alpine skiing, shooting, gymnastics, some body weight exercises, and horseback riding.

So that's it! I hope you have a good time working out after knowing about isometric exercises examples! Happy Working out!

Prune Juice and Weight Loss

How many diets, drinks, foods, and supplements have you tried in your effort at weight loss? How many of these diets, drinks, foods and supplements have been helpful? A lot of drinks and foods have been related to weight loss, but not much has been spoken of prune juice and weight loss. People are now learning the effects of this wonder drink, and how it can help you shed those pounds effectively, and keep them away. Here, apart from how this drink works, and the benefits of prune juice for weight loss, we will also enlist the other benefits of this drink.

How Prune Juice Enables Weight Loss

While it is now common knowledge that prune juice aids weight loss, it is imperative to know how this happens.

• Prunes themselves are very rich in fiber. As such, prune juice itself is also a fiber-rich drink, that keeps you fuller for longer hours. This means you don't wind up snacking on the wrong foods at irregular times. The calories consumed are fewer and therefore, it helps with losing weight.
• Prune juice is also a natural laxative, and a lot of people have resorted to drinking prune juice for constipation. In any case, consuming prune juice is helpful for its laxative effect, thereby helping in the release of toxins and excess fat in the body. By regulating the digestive health of an individual, prune juice enables safe and healthy weight loss.
• To use prune juice as a natural aid for weight loss, consume it just before a meal so that it reduces your appetite. It can also be consumed in place of a snack when you feel those hunger pangs. Do not consume any more than two glasses a day for weight loss.

Apart from the aforementioned benefits, there are also several other prune juice benefits. They help in regulating cholesterol levels in the body, they are rich in antioxidants that take care of harmful free radicals in the body, they help control acidity, and finally, they contain phenolic compounds that are known to prevent fatal conditions such as cancer. There are also several benefits of prune juice for infants and babies, information on which can be found in this article on prune juice for babies. So not only weight loss, you have a lot of other reasons to consume prune juice.

Tips to Remember While Consuming Prune Juice for Weight Loss

As you consider the benefits of prune juice and weight loss, there are certain considerations that need to be kept in mind.

• Firstly, since it is so rich in fibers an excess consumption of this drink can lead to diarrhea and weakening of the digestive system. As such, do not assume that if you drink more prune juice you will lose more weight. An excess of anything can be harmful for the body, and so is the case with prune juice.
• Secondly, solely drinking prune juice and remaining on your regular diet is not going to help you lose weight. You must follow a healthy diet, cut down on foods rich in fats, simply eat right and exercise so as to help prune juice be an effective remedy for you.
• Another important consideration when it comes to the use of prune juice and weight loss, is that an excess of prune juice can in fact, cause weight gain. This is because prune juice is made up of simple sugars, an excess of which is directly stored in fat cells.
• If you are purchasing commercial prune juice ensure that there are no added sugars in it, else it can do you more harm than good. Not only does it have added sugars, it can also have other unhealthy additives in it.

Finally, all that can be said is that there is no miraculous drink that will work overnight and help you shed those excess pounds in a jiffy. The same is true for prune juice and weight loss. Prune juice will aid your efforts at weight loss, but it alone cannot have any substantial effects. However, when combined with any of the good weight loss diets, along with a suitable exercise routine, prune juice is bound to help you restore those curves.

Hemorrhoids During Pregnancy

Hemorrhoids are enlarged blood vessels in the rectal area, which cause pain and, at times, bleeding. Swollen veins are known as varicose veins and are commonly observed in pregnant women, especially in the legs. Consequently, hemorrhoids during pregnancy is also not an uncommon condition. While some women develop them within the first months; others get hemorrhoids during labor. But, not all cases of internal hemorrhoids and external hemorrhoids require therapeutic intervention.

Symptoms of Hemorrhoids During Pregnancy

In the general population, hemorrhoids or piles occur in 50 percent of the adults.

Many pregnant women with piles report little or no discomfort problems, while some experience itching, pain and burning sensation in and around the anus.

A disheartening part with hemorrhoids during pregnancy is restriction in using treatment medications, unless recommended by a trusted doctor. Of course, a pregnant woman with hemorrhoid problem can try remedies for managing hemorrhoids symptoms.

As pregnancy is the most crucial phase, a mild health condition should not be taken lightly. The same is applicable to pregnancy induced hemorrhoids. Even though the discomfort condition resolves on its own after giving birth to a baby, a woman should take certain precautions to minimize the risk of bleeding hemorrhoids. Fortunately, there are safe approaches for treating hemorrhoids in pregnant women. Listed below are effective natural remedies for hemorrhoids during pregnancy:

• For instant hemorrhoids relief, one can apply cold compresses in the affected area. Put ice cubes in a clean cloth and dab the anal region with it. The cold treatment will reduce swelling and painful symptoms.
• Taking warm water bath and soaking the bottom in lukewarm water are other approaches for treating hemorrhoids during pregnancy. A simple way is to use a sitz bath over the toilet. Also, alternating cold and warm compresses is best for getting pain relief.
• Check the diet plan and ensure that loads of fiber rich foods are added in the daily food menu. This will help in maintaining regular bowel movement, which is a key tip in reducing hemorrhoid pain and bleeding.
• Another method concerning how to get rid of hemorrhoids is using medicated wipes, that are specially prescribed for patients with piles. Use unscented, alcohol free, soft or pre-moistened tissue to wipe the area gently.
• Hemorrhoids pads that are made with witch hazel extract is a good remedial solution to combat discomfort symptoms. Also, they are safe for usage by pregnant women. But, remember to purchase them from a reputable brand.
• Other tips to promote healing hemorrhoids are not sitting for long hours, keeping the anal area clean and performing mild movement activities. Drinking ample amount of water is a simple remedy to treat constipation and piles.

In case, the symptoms of hemorrhoids during pregnancy do not improve, or become unmanageable with home remedies, do not delay in taking medical help. Consulting a doctor is of utmost importance, if the woman experiences frequent rectal bleeding while straining for defecation. The doctor may recommend safe suppository or topical anesthetic, along with exercises for hemorrhoids. As far as hemorrhoids laser treatment is concerned, it is not recommended for pregnant women. Follow the suggested directions and a pregnant woman will definitely get relief from hemorrhoids.

Getting Rid of Pimples Overnight

Pimple outbreak is a frustrating experience for all of us. One fine morning, you stand in front of the mirror to discover one or more number of big pimples on your face. It makes your face look quite strange if not ugly. From your past experience, you assume that it will take at least a week if not more to disappear. You feel so helpless. Next time when it happens, do not get disappointed. There are some simple ways of getting rid of pimples overnight.

How are Pimples Formed

Pimples are formed on the skin surface due to an infection caused by certain bacteria. The tiny sebaceous glands inside the hair follicles produce an oil like substance known as sebum. This sebum production may increase due to various reasons including hormonal imbalance. In this condition, if any of the facial skin pores get clogged up with sebum, dead skin cells, dirt and bacteria, then it leads to a skin infection. As a result, inflammation occur in the surrounding tissues and a pus fills up the blocked spore. In this way, a big, red pimple is formed on your clear face.

How to Get Rid of Pimples Overnight

For getting rid of pimples fast, you do not have to use any expensive materials. All those substances that are easily available in your homes can be used for this purpose. Here are a few home remedies for pimples that work really fast:

Lemon Juice
Rub fresh lemon juice on your pimples with a gentle hand. The bleaching properties of lemon juice lighten the skin and thus reduce its appearance. Moreover, it removes the topmost layer of the skin surface where bacteria grows and does the good job of acne control. Thus the healthy underlying skin is revealed. If you hesitate to use concentrated lemon juice on the pimple as you fear it may cause skin irritation, then you can dilute it with rose water.

Application of Ice
This is an easy way to get rid of pimples overnight. You have to pack up some crushed ice in an aluminum foil in order to prevent them from getting melted quickly. Then put it inside a plastic bag and wrap up the pack with a thin towel. Now apply it over the pimples for 10 to 15 minutes. This will shrink the pores forcing the oil and dirt out of it. When the two main culprits are out, you can expect the pimple to clear up in no time.

Toothpaste
You can get rid of pimples overnight using toothpaste. Many people have find it highly beneficial for this purpose. Take some toothpaste on the tip of your finger and apply it on the pimple in such a way that the entire pimple is covered up with the toothpaste properly. Leave it on the pimple overnight. Next morning when you wash it off with warm water, you will be pleasantly surprised with the result. The trick is that the toothpaste absorb all the oil from the pimple and reduce its size so much that it becomes invisible. However, a toothpaste with gel content is not suitable for this treatment.

Baking Soda
Baking soda is considered as one of the best home remedies for getting rid of pimples overnight. Prepare a thick paste using one cup of baking soda, 3 tablespoons of salt and some water. Rub this paste gently over the affected areas of your face making small circular motions. Leave it on the acne for few minutes and then wash your face with cool water. The exfoliant property of the salt removes the dead skin cells from the pores. The baking soda soften up the skin and restore the normal pH balance of the skin. As a result, the pimple clears up fast.

Egg Mask
A simple egg mask can help you in getting rid of pimples overnight from your face. Take one or two eggs as per your requirement. Break them and separate the white portion of the eggs from the yolk. It is the egg white that you need to apply as facial mask on your face. Keep it on the face overnight and then wash off with cold water.

Before you start any of the treatments given in the section how to get rid of pimples overnight, you must clean your face with a mild facial cleanser that your use regularly. Finally, I would like to tell you one thing that getting rid of pimples overnight may not be possible if you have the bad habits of touching them or popping them with fingers. Such actions can rupture the pimple resulting in spreading of the infection to the surrounding skin pores. Thus, you will end up having more pimples on your face.
