1. Bullworker Exercise Videos

Grab both outside handles of your Bullworker X5. Raise the unit up so that it is directly in front of your chest. Keep both arms bent at a 45-degree angle, with the bottoms of both arms and forearms parallel to the floor.

Compress the two metal tubes slowly inward, using about 70 per cent of your strength. Hold that position for six to eight seconds, then relax. Repeat the movement for a total of three sets, as this will better help maximise results for building your pectoral muscles. Breathe normally throughout the exercise-never hold your breath. Place the bottom end of the Bullworker X5 in your left hand.

Position the Bullworker X5 against the top of your left thigh, with your finger knuckles pressed against your abdomen. Grab the top end of the contraption with your right hand. Bend forward slightly as you compress the unit against your thigh, exerting tension on your right lat muscle, the side muscle that sticks out under your armpit. Hold that position for six to eight seconds, then relax. Perform two more sets the same way.

Triceps Push Down. Grab the bottom handle of your Bullworker X5 with your right hand while standing, using an underhand grip. Grab the top of the unit, using an overhand grip, with your right hand.

Compress the upper part of the Bullworker X5 with the biceps strength of your right arm, while simultaneously pulling the top of the unit downward. Hold that position for six to eight seconds for an isometric contraction of your right bicep muscle. Switch hands and perform the same exercise while contracting your right bicep. Do three total sets with each arm.

Bullworker claims that isometric exercises are the quickest way to build up your muscles and strength. The company describes a series of 10-second exercises to sculpt and transform your figure in a few weeks. Isometric exercises build muscles by using muscular contractions against a fixed resistance which allows no movement. In isometrics, your muscles contract but their length does not change. Bullworker allows you to compress the built-in springs by pressing from both ends then holding still at that level of compression for a number of seconds.

Isometric exercises are generally recognized as effective if done for at least 30 minutes at least five days every week, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services 'Exercise and Physical Fitness Guidelines.' Isotonic exercises are said by Bullworker to form the foundation for endurance and muscular definition, creating the visual results that make people notice. In isotonic exercises, you contract opposing muscles to produce a controlled movement. In this case, you maintain a constant tension while the length of your muscles changes. The best known example of isotonic exercise, classically accepted as effective, is free-weight lifting.

The Bullworker allows continuous muscle length changes if you compress and relax the springs with pushing or cable-pulling motions. Bullworker's combination of isometric and isotonic exercises is said to combine Pilates-like stretching with muscle building. Iso-motion exercise is a term coined by Bullworker. It refers to the combination of isometric and isotonic actions that many of its exercise programs call for. For instance, when performing abdominal crunches you kneel, compress the Bullworker by a given amount between your chest and the floor, creating an isotonic motion, then hold that position for a time in isometric tension. This effectively combines motion and strength exercises.
