For 20 years I've been saying: "This is where everyone is going, they just don't know it yet."
There is no question that isometrics has far more to offer more people than traditional forms of exercise, particularly for the 20% of our population represented by the baby boomers.
I was recently contacted by someone interested in the viiivPRO and he had some specific questions for me. I'm sure there are many of you out there who have the same questions so I want to share with you our exchange, plus some additional thoughts.
Q: Besides a viiivPRO, occasional sprinting, and walking... any other additional ...
I recently saw a short clip of an interview on Instagram with Steven Kotler.
Mr. Kotler is a New York Times best-selling author, award-winning journalist, and Executive Director of the Flow Research Collective.
The subject of this conversation was the relationship between thigh strength and mortality. ...
After a year and a half, she said she needed more.
I disagreed.
Sounds like the beginning of a breakup, doesn't it?
After more than a year of 20 second workouts once a week on the viiivPRO her strength was trending upward nicely on all 4 exercises. Energy level was good.
She noticed the positive effects. Everything seemed ...
Susan went a different route.
She didn't like the radiation associated with DEXA scans so she decided to have a bone scan with some relatively new technology called Echolight. Some think this will eventually become the new gold standard. We'll see.

In a recent viral post on X, singer Avery, who is in her 20's, said she was stunned to learn she now has osteoporosis from using Ozempic for weight loss.
It's true that rapid weight loss without being accompanied by some kind of load-bearing exercise can lead to bone loss in some people. ...
One of the best things I get to see using the viiivPRO is the frustration a client displays when they don't beat their all-time best force output.
And that's a good thing, you ask?
Hell yeah.
That's a competitor, and make no mistake about it, the 80-year old lady with osteoporosis is just as competitive as the 20-year ...
"We want to get to the starting line 80% in shape and 100% healthy rather than the other way around,"
said legendary track coach Harry Marra.
I love this philosophy.
It means don't let your training compromise your health; there's no benefit in being sore, fatigued, stiff, or mentally drained. ...
I love sprinting. It's one of the best things you can do for your body.
Sprinting and isometrics have a lot in common. So when I recently heard track coach Tony Holler state that sprinting can inoculate you from soft tissue injury it confirmed what I've been teaching, and witnessing in clients at STRONG WOMEN ROCK for decades.

Would you like to have your spine compressed?
I’ll bet you don’t say yes.
Unless you’re affiliated with OsteoStrong® (OS), that is.
