An isometric-to-dynamic strength pair working quads, inner thighs, chest, and triceps. Suited for anyone who wants a quiet, equipment-free challenge.

You'll start in horse stance – a wide, low hold that builds tension in your legs without any movement. Then you'll drop into push-ups, shifting the demand to your upper body. It's calm and controlled, but your muscles won't think it's easy.

Isometric holds like horse stance build strength and endurance in positions we rarely train. Research suggests they can also help lower blood pressure over time, making this a practical option if high-impact movement isn't your thing.
