It’s been been said that the body is “fearfully and wonderfully made”.
There are many intricacies and inter-workings involved in every movement we make.
None of these things can be done without a strong, healthy heart.
This small but mighty muscle works extremely hard.
Your heart beats about 100,000 times a day according to WebMD and pumps about 2,000 gallons of blood.
So taking good care of this amazing muscle is extremely important.
Here’s one of the ways you can keep your heart heathier: isotonics.
These exercises can increase stroke volume, oxygen consumption, cardiac output, heart rate, and muscle endurance
according to Form A Gym.
Isotonics are used often in Mace Fit.
They are done with light steel clubs which are moved very slowly through a specific range of motion.
For example:
One rep can last 15 seconds in Russian plank flys and usually 5 reps on each side will do the trick.
Yes, there are quite a few other ways to do isotonics.
The main point is to just do them.
You get to choose.
