Isometric stretches are when your muscles are contracted and held that way. It is the opposite of dynamic stretching where your muscles are lengthening and contracting. An example of an isometric stretch is the plank; where you're resting on your forearms and your toes. Your abdominal muscles are being contracted but there is no lengthening and contracting movement. Dynamic stretching would be doing a pushup.
