Those same 10 pounds…Static Exercises really are like watching glue dry..
Posted by: Mom~E~Centric / Category: I can do thisSo, I know I’m late with this post, and probably had I been here to bear bad news, I would have just forgot about it entirely. However, the good news is kind of an odd bit though.
When we last saw “the scales”, I was up 7 pounds. Yesterday, down 9 pounds. Now obviously at this rate, I should start to slim down albeit extremely slowly if I am going to gain 7 and lose 9, gain 7 and lose 9. However, this does put me below where I’ve been in about 3 years.
I’m not sure if you guys realize that when you eat like I do (as I shove another chocolate covered cashew in my mouth because I am a nervous wreck about an event tomorrow), losing weight is no easy task. And, regardless, exercise is the answer. However, I have yet to be released from the Ortho and so I am stuck…..doing static exercises and trying to build up the strength in my foot.
And really, static exercises rank right up there with watching glue dry – worse than even watching paint dry…
Hopefully, soon, and I do mean soon, I can say that I am ready to kick the EASports ladies butt. That chick, she just mocks me and my static exercises. I have tried the volleyball and boxing again from my chair which I know sounds ridiculous but I try to bend and reach to my sides as much as possible when I do this.
The down side to that is I tend to put my legs in a constant state of contraction and I end up with an aching leg (from the break and subsequent surgery) for a day or two. But, it’s better than watching glue dry.

Are static exercises similar to isometric? You basically push/pull against an immovable object for a time?
If so then yes! I wholeheartedly agree. They’re an absolute pain! I used to do them as part of my workjout but quickly dumped them when I didn’t see any result.
