Isometric squat - Exercise to strengthen tendons and ligaments | UC Davis Health Tips

UC Davis Health molecular exercise physiologist Keith Baar explains the importance of strengthening tendons and ligaments while demonstrating the proper technique for performing an isometric squat.

Isometric exercises are moves that involve contracting or tightening the muscles without changing their length. They are positions that hold the body or limbs in a fixed position for a period of time.

What’s your opinion on the horse stance? This looks similar although discussing the squat.

Horse Stance - Chinese martial artists have been doing it for thousands of years

Just one question. How broad does this guy think his shoulders are :)

Wonder if this helps explain why a lot of people swear by horse stance🤔

when you do the 30sec load, is this repeated 10 times??? if so, how long does one rest in between? Can one begin adding weight?
