Static exercise for joints

Try this form of exercise to add resistance training with bad joints.

Statics or isometric exercises are great for people that hate getting really sore after a workout or have joint problems but still want to workout hard. This is a form of resistance training where you choose a weight and hold it in place for a period of time, say 45 seconds, putting stress on the muscle without the movement in the joints that causes pain and without the muscle damage done from eccentric exercise.
