DO 3 ROUNDS OF THE FOLLOWING EXERCISES:
Description: This move starts with both of your palms face up holding onto a resistance band. The closer your hands are together, the more resistance the band will provide. 1. Set your shoulder blades back and down. Hold this contraction throughout the exercise. 2. Externally rotate your shoulders to pull your hands apart from each other.
Goal: 3 rounds of 10 reps.
Extra Notes: I do not expect this one to feel crazy hard or make you out of breath. This is a deep strengthening to reposition the resting position of your shoulder blade and Humerus. It will take time to see if it’s working. Please stay consistent with it. You got this! 🙂
