What is HOT ISO?

HOT ISO, short for Hot Isometric, is an innovative workout method offered exclusively at HOTWORX. This unique workout combines the principles of isometric exercises, which involve holding static positions to engage muscles without moving the joints, with the benefits of infrared heat. 

Isometric exercises are a cornerstone of HOT ISO, where participants perform a series of static postures that target various muscle groups, helping to build strength and endurance without high-impact movements. These exercises are derived from athletic resistance training, yoga, and Pilates, ensuring a comprehensive full-body workout. Holding these postures, you engage your core muscles, improve muscle strength, and achieve a balanced fitness level.

What are the benefits of HOT ISO workouts?

HOT ISO workouts offer numerous fitness benefits that cater to a wide range of fitness goals. Here are some key advantages:

• Enhanced Muscle Strength: The static positions in HOT ISO workouts engage multiple muscle groups, including core muscles, which leads to improved muscle strength and endurance. This helps in building a solid foundation for overall fitness.
• Improved Flexibility and Joint Mobility: The heated environment facilitates deeper muscle stretching and joint movement, enhancing flexibility and reducing the risk of injury.
• Increased Caloric Burn: The combination of isometric exercises and infrared heat boosts your metabolism, leading to higher calorie expenditure during and after the workout.
• Detoxification: Infrared heat promotes sweating, which helps to eliminate toxins from the body, resulting in a cleansing effect.
• Stress Reduction: The workout's focus on controlled breathing and static postures helps to center the mind, reduce stress, and enhance mental clarity.
• Accessible for All Fitness Levels: Whether you are a beginner or advanced, our HOT ISO virtual instructors offer modifications to suit your fitness level and help you progress on your fitness journey.

How long is a typical HOT ISO session?

A standard HOT ISO session at HOTWORX lasts for 30 minutes. This duration is optimal for delivering an effective full-body workout while ensuring participants can maintain the intensity and benefit from the infrared heat without feeling overwhelmed. The concise yet comprehensive nature of the session makes it easy to fit into a busy schedule.

Bring, Wear, Prepare.

When attending a HOT ISO session, it’s important to wear clothing that allows for easy movement and facilitates sweating. Lightweight, moisture-wicking fabrics are ideal as they help keep you comfortable during the workout. 

• Bring water and a towel
