2- Stand in a doorway , hold your hands at thigh level , and then press the backs of your hands outward against the door jambs. Hold sub-maximal force for 8 seconds and repeat. This works the deltoids and suprapinatus.
3- Stand in a doorway, raise your right arm above your head, and push your arm against the door frame. Change sides. This works the pectorals, obliques, and arms.
4- Stand in a doorway, bend your elbows, and press the palms of your hands-at chest level – outward against the door jambs. This works the pectorals and biceps.
5- Stand facing a wall about two feet away from it. Raise your hands to shoulder level and place your palms against the wall. Contract your abdominal muscles, straighten your elbows, put your body weight toward the wall, and push against it. This works your arms and shoulders
Remember, as long as you're flexing or applying force against something, you're engaged in an isometric exercise.
