Shop IsoToneTwelve real demonstrations
Hold both handles.Work both directions.
Every IsoTone repetition has two active phases: collapse the device, then expand it. Watch the motion, begin slowly and add speed only while control remains clear.
Exercise basics
Strong form makes
short sets count.
Warm up first. Start with one exercise and a manageable pace. Build repetitions gradually, breathe continuously and stop before form breaks down.
Control both phases
Move inward and outward deliberately. IsoTone is not a passive return spring.
Build speed gradually
Technique comes first. Faster cycles should remain aligned and smooth.
Listen to your body
Stop for pain, dizziness, chest discomfort or unusual shortness of breath.

These clips use the actual IsoTone device. The demonstrations show the movement—not a required pace or prescription. Choose the variation, range and intensity appropriate for you.
Begin seated when possible. Keep one wooden handle in each hand and make the outward phase as deliberate as the squeeze.

Use IsoTone safely
Exercise guidance is not medical clearance.
If you have a cardiovascular, neurological, orthopedic or other health condition—or are recovering from surgery or injury—ask your healthcare professional which movements and intensity are appropriate. Do not use rapid, high-intensity exercise without appropriate conditioning.
