....Hi Oldies :)
I will check out your TTap site... From what I understand, according 
to my muscle bound personal trainer who is definitely a very big guy,
isometric movements won't do much for the muscles because you have 
to work the muscle to the full extent of its range of motion...yes 
you will develop some endurance and burn some calories to be sure, 
but to really see results and improve your muscles you have to do, 
what he called, "progressive overload"... ie, if you don't continue 

to challenge the muscle, your results won't be optimal.
But do what you like, because that is a very important factor, and 
it is usually the deciding factor on whether or not you continue any 
exercise regimen :)
Hope NoS is going well for you
