Doing static or isometric exercises for 10-30 seconds can increase your tendon and ligament strength as if you were lifting the heaviest weight you could handle…and it does so, safely.

An older family member recently told me she lost some shoulder muscles, due to the tendon ripping off. She did not notice this. I found that older persons have asymptomatic tendon rips 40% of the time. Normally, this should have been noticed.

Workout your tendons and ligaments with this simple approach and prevent loss of your muscles.

By the way, I found a study that clearly shows a high success rate in tendon reattachment in people over 75 years of age, so don’t let age stop you from getting repaired.

Thanks for sharing this. I’ve been exercising through the winter months, but a couple times I’ve suffered a moderate pulled muscle in my calf just jumping rope. The price of aging I guess. I’ve been using jumping jacks as a less intense alternative, but will trying applying the notion of isometrically exercising the calf muscles to strengthen them so I can get back to jumping rope without injury.

Or you could just do 30 min of yoga moves, which incorporate all of these beneficial isometric movements.

I do these, already, with my miles long walks.

I add planks and soleus muscle exercises, afterwards.

Good to know this is beneficial for tendons/ligaments.
