Ben Greenfield, who is regarded as somewhat of a quack, has for a long time advocated for isometric exercise. I always found him interesting so I followed his blog for a while. I always thought the stuff about isometric exercise was bunk, but if the study is sound, then I guess I was too quick to judge. This is potentially great news for him and his brand.
- prometheus76 3y agoAnecdotal, but worth considering: Bruce Lee relied mostly on isometric exercises to stay in shape.

However at the end of the day stability only gets you so far, since we are always moving, so it really makes sense to combine isometric exercises with other ones to get a robust exercise plan for whatever goals each person has.
