Mobility: "Jacks Without Jumps!"
OBJECTIVE: Open up shoulders & lats.
-
Stand upright with palms pressing into outer thighs.
-
Swing straight arms up directly over head and slap palms together.
-
Take palms back to starting position on thighs then repeat.
-
Perform 5-10 reps.
Tips: Try to reach straight over head and
shoulders if you can so you get the maximum "opening" benefit to increase
shoulder mobility. Your elbows should be right over your ears as you
finish the reach. You can safely add some quickness to this one making it
more functional.
-
A great simple exercise for keeping the ability to reach overhead in a full range of motion. Many seniors today cannot reach over their heads--don't end up being one of them! A great quick dynamic warm-up extra before heavy lifting too.
