It is the holiday season and I have been wanting to lose weight but now it is going to be hard. I think I am going to ask for a dvd on isometrics in my stocking. According to the basics of isometrics all you really need is a dvd to get started. This web site is a good one if you want to know more about isometrics.  This form of exercise seems to be the in thing now. From what I have read they are good for you. They not only are good for losing weight but will also help to build strength. I could use some strength in my arms.
