What is ISO-MOTION for Movement Performance?
ISO-MOTION for movement performance combines isometrics as the fastest way to build strength and incorporates movement to enhance your mobility and strengthen your body in ways you naturally move. This concept is also known as functional fitness. We believe any time you increase your strength you are adding to your functionality. When concentrating on body movements and natural motions your added strength more directly correlates to performing in your daily routines.
Mobility exercises focus on movement to loosen up your joints and strengthen your muscles for improving flexibility as well. The more you focus on rotating your joints and exercising those areas the more you can open up and improve your mobility.
Purpose of ISO-MOTION for Movement Performance
ISO-MOTION flow is intended to maximize your return on your efforts when it comes to fitness routines. We believe to be fit you need a combination of strength, flexibility, and endurance. ISO-MOTION gives you all in one. Functional fitness at its finest and most efficient. You control the resistance; you control the results.
Engage your muscles with responsive resistance for strength training, move through your range of motion for improved flexibility, and maintain tension for endurance.
