Weekend Workout: Static Hold Training for Arms & Abs

It’s time for your Weekend Workout with David Lyons, airing Saturdays on NBC Palm Springs! In this week’s segment, David walks us through Day 3 of static hold training, targeting the arms and core.

The workout kicks off with triceps. The movement starts by facing away from the resistance band anchor, arms extended forward. Holds are done at three intervals: 20 seconds, 15 seconds, and 10 seconds—engaging the muscles in a deep isometric burn.

Next up: biceps. Facing the anchor with bands positioned low, the motion involves curling up and holding at the top, mid-range, and lower positions for 20, 15, and 10 seconds. Each hold challenges the muscle group from a different angle.

Finally, it's time to engage the core. With the band attached high, the crunching movement is held at three different points—again for 20, 15, and 10 seconds. This method helps strengthen the abdominals and build muscular endurance.

Static hold training is an effective way to build strength and increase control, especially when paired with resistance bands. No gym required!
