Shoulders: "Windshield
Wiper + 1/2
Circle"
[Shoulder Matrix #1:
Exercise #1]
Directions: Perform my
Dynamic Warm-Up
exercises at “beginning” of workout for maximum benefit and improvement.
Pick a safe level; never be unsafe or exceed your capacity to “control” your
body!
General Matrix Directions: Perform consecutively for 6-8 reps each—NO REST! Do 1-3 sets. Use LIGHT dumbbells (1-10 lbs.) so you can maintain form. 10 pounds would be “very heavy” for this series of exercises.
-
This is Exercise #1 in a series of 5.
-
Stand upright with good posture.
-
Hold DBs (dumbbells) straight out to sides of body even with shoulders--you'll have to "pull DBs back" to get in proper position.
-
From shoulder height, circle DBs in, down, then back out.
-
Retract shoulders back and down as you return to starting position.
-
Repeat 6-8 reps then go to next Side Raise Thumbs Up matrix exercise.
Tips: The keys with this one are really pulling the
shoulders back (retraction) as you finish each rep and making a true 1/2 circle
in front of body with DBs.
-
If you pull shoulders back properly this is a great "strength" exercise for upper back and shoulders plus as you pull back you'll "open" the front of shoulders which are typically tight in most people.
*Note:
This exercise is intended for "normal healthy"
individuals. If you have an injury, or abnormal pain is present,
see your physician or a certified physical
therapist before continuing your exercises.
