There are many ailments that strike as we approach and pass retirement age. Mostly we find little aches and pains and the inability to engage in activities that were once very possible. It can be heartbreaking to be unable to take a jog or exercise as we used to due to neck, shoulder, or back pain. Therefore, many older people have trouble maintaining a physically fit body. They find they are either unable to engage in activities that once enthralled them or are too weak and fragile to attempt it. As we’re aging, exercise becomes that much more critical to our physical and mental well-being.

Aging is seldom a comfortable thing to accept and all too many people just give up on exercise altogether. The IsoBreathing® System, however, allows for a continuation of exercise at any age, without all the risks, aches, and pains involved with typical systems. One can acquire more energy, strength, and flexibility from a few dedicated moments per day, without purchasing and moving around heavy equipment.

For the aging, exercise becomes a real challenge.

The IsoBreathing® system utilizes isometric exercises in combination with resistance band exercises to present strength training that anyone can perform. Whether you are too young, too old, or too immobile for other exercise programs, you are perfect for the IsoBreathing System. 

For an older person, it is recommended that you check with your doctor as necessary before engaging in any life style changes. The IsoBreathing® System is most definitely a life style change, not a quick fix. However, with a little bit of dedication, the results can be seen and felt.

On a typical IsoBreathing System day, one would practice the breathing technique while stretching muscles with the resistance bands. This typically takes ten to fifteen minutes. After that, make proper food choices (hints and tips are detailed in the system) and engage in a mild aerobic exercise like a quick walk or swim. 

The strength training exercises in the IsoBreathing® System can be conducted comfortably at home in front of the television, without disturbing anyone else in the house – this makes IsoBreathing® a perfect aging exercise. They are completely silent and made to be easy so that anyone, no matter how weak, can perform them.

The advantage of resistance bands (IsoBands™), of course, is they can never become too easy for you. You control the intensity of your workout – if you need more resistance, increase your range of motion. This allows for more resistance and therefore a bit of a harder workout.

The isometric factor in the IsoBreathing® System is a breathing technique and posture technique that allows you to get the maximum payback out of your brief resistance band exercises. Posture and breathing are often neglected in other exercise systems because they are more concerned with working hard then getting the most reward out of your work… in other words, IsoBreathing® as an aging exercise give you the most bang for your buck.
