10 Minute Isometric Core Workout | No Equipment

Isometric core workout | 10 minutes at home

Hello everyone!

Isometrics is simply a term for a muscle holding its contraction and is neither lengthening or shortening.

I love changing my training up and incorporate isometrics into nearly every movement in some form from hip thrusts to chest press to shoulder press! This video is based on same technique and applied to core exercises.

The hold of each exercise is performed for 20 seconds, then 10 seconds to get into position for next hold. One round will bring you up to 10 minutes in total.

The exercises are as follows:

1. hollow
2. Crunch
3. Toe reach
4. V sit
5. Boat
6. On forearms leg lower
7. Wiper
8. Wiper
9. Side plank
10. Side plank
11. Top position of push-up
12. Bottom position of push-up
13. Long lever plank
14. Plank
15. Single leg plank
16. Single leg plank
17. Mountain climber
18. Mountain climber
19. Superman
20. Bear crawl hold

Remember to relax your breathe when holding the contraction and only do to your ability. For any hold involving leg lower, simply do not lower as much and perform lower push up on knees if needed.

I hope you give this a go! 10 minutes and your core will be strengthened that little bit more!

My wife 62, and I am 73. We are doing the 6 week program. And we do the 10 minute isometric every ever day. This is mixed in with some extra weights, a 45 minute swim (1 mile) with an 8 mile bike ride, and with rest days too..-- It is exciting to see our bodies transform and to feel and to be so fit! We both feel like we are young again.😊

Fantastic Thank you!! Also for anyone else out there; I find that
1)breathing out completely,
2) then flex core
3) breath while flexed
All help in stabilizing you, helps you control your breathing and helps you squeeze your core just a little tighter after each breath while your holding !

It's pretty priceless that I can work out to Caroline's videos with my kids around and not have to worry about ads for fat loss wrecking havoc on their little minds!

[akritimjn]

I can hold all other poses except the pushup down for 20 seconds. I hope I can do that too someday. After the 20 second goes off, I slam my body on the mat within a second. I wish I had her grace and elegance.♥️

Im learning that strength isn't just about weights. I'm a powerlifter but man, my strength in calisthenics is crap. I will be doing a lot more of your workouts. It will probably help me lift better too

[jopalmer]

On Saturdays I try to mix my workouts up a bit and included doing a couple of rounds of this. The last time I did it a good few months back there was no way I could hold the push up bottom position for the duration, I can now which shows the core strength I've built over time. Thank you Caroline, this is a large part due to your coaching.

[thsybek]

oh, this was beautifully brutal. i will definitely be coming back to this workout and exploring the realm of isometric exercise. thank you for this!

[biancaandcats]

Absolutely love this one 😍 My core has become so much stronger from working with you Caroline for 8 months now and it shows me that in this work out that I am able to it all 🥰❣

[Astronautisa]

I just wanted to say that you are the best! I love all your workouts, you are so calm and friendly and yet so effective! I especially enjoy the isometric ones! Keep up the good job, you are such an exceptional girl!

[patriotichearts]

Caroline is the best trainer online. it is very easy to to follow along as we watch her perfect form routines. -- Pausing and replay is sometimes necessary to do each exercise just right. Too, She goes more quickly than we can, so we take longer and need longer rest between. And she encourages us to do so, "at our own pace and comfort level." -- In just a few weeks of this training and my wife and I are seeing our bodies transform. We are stronger. fitter, healthier, happier. We both feel decades younger! I am 73. -- We enrolled in her 6 week program via her website too. -- Thank you, Caroline!!!

mad workout! Glad to have this squeezed in my short break between lectures! Never heard of isometric before but it's definitely something else than the normal dynamic workout

[EstherPiskunovZumba]

I never write reviews in youtube but I could not resist. This session is Absolutely felt it in the right places and broke a sweat. It's a great addition to any work out. I do HIIT 3x a week and this is a great session for my in-between/rest days. Thank you Caroline!!

[andreahammond]

It never ceases to amaze me how some of these short workouts can look so easy yet be so challenging....I love it!! Thanks Caroline!

[chica]

I’ve been doing this for 3 weeks now! I love it! Thank you very much for sharing this video with us! God bless you! 🙏🏾❤️

[hahabass]

This is great and takes nothing out of your day. I did it this morning as my back’s playing up. It had a positive mindful effect somehow, too. Thank you, Caroline x

[marciabamber]

Loved this safe and effective workout!

[IzzyRAM]

I don't remember seeing this core workout in her core playlist, but I'm glad it popped out in my feed. Loved it all. I'm proud that I can do all of them even the push up hold. I just couldn't get myself up again like she did lol. I just plopped to the floor 🔥😆

[gemmajames]

I love this I’ve done it 3 days in a row 😃 I definitely feel warm after ha ha!

[melinda]

😍Loved this!! I never think to just do holds like this when doing abs. Definitely could feel the burn! I will be returning to this workout again for sure!💁🏼‍♀️

[marileedebruyn]

i was wondering why I hadn't done this one yet when the vidoe started, and within seconds it became apparent that I simply had not been brave enough previously. Thanks for all your hard work, Caroline! This was super effective and I'm so glad I joined you!
Much love from South Africa <3
