your hands against each other or a stationary object to work specific muscle groups while also stretching them slightly. Strength and stamina in the affected areas are supposedly increased as a result. This concept also goes by the name "isometric." In its broadest sense, the term "exercise" refers to any time spent moving around with the intention of bettering one's health and fitness. This physical activity can be performed using a wide range of methods, including different muscle contractions. In humans, the two most common types of muscle contraction are isotonic and isometric. Isometrics (also spelled "isometrics") are a type of exercise in which the joint angle and the muscle length remain constant throughout the contraction. In isometrics, instead of focusing on movement, static positions are used.
