What Exactly Is A “Dynamic Resistance” Workout?

What I will outline in the writing is a method of muscle training that is considered low impact but high intensity

Without getting to technical, Dynamic Resistance is a method of fitness training where you have to visualize some sort of opposing force on the muscle or muscle group you are working out.

For instance, say you want to raise your arm from you side. You can easily raise it, right? What if you “pretend” you are stuck in a mud pit? Now, you have to raise your hand by going through the mud. The thickness of the mud is whatever you make it. The thicker the mud, the harder it will be to raise your arm. Get it?

Here’s a video I did explaining Dynamic Resistance:

The whole idea to use Dynamic Resistance training has two parts. One is to, obviously, put tension and resistance on your muscles. The other one is to raise and lower your heart rate.

How is heart rate raised? Well, when tension is put on a muscle, that muscle requires more blood to work properly. To get more blood, the heart needs to beat faster; hence the heart rate is raised.

So, actually, if done correctly, not only will a Dynamic Resistance type of workout put tension on your muscle, it can be a form of cardio training as well.

But then the question comes up on how someone can incorporate this workout. I’ll be honest with you, it does take a LOT of discipline and a LOT of focus as well. It’s like a cross between yoga and calisthenics.

Personally, I enjoy this type of workout, it suits me just fine. Is Dynamic Resistance the only kind of workout I do? Nope, I do different workouts. I like to switch things up. But the DR workouts are now a permanent part of my health and fitness life!

Just like my workouts, my writings are different as well. I write on different topics besides Health and Fitness. I write about Family, Mindset, Lifestyle and Humor. I’ve linked to a few of these stories below. Let me know your thoughts!
