Short Class 54: Shoulder Flexion
3 classes per week
•
25m
This will be a single joint focus class for Shoulder Flexion
Equipment Needed: Yoga Blocks
In conventional fitness we've created many overhead movements like shoulder presses, handstands, pull-ups, lat pulldowns, etc. All which require good Shoulder Flexion. Though if you assess the average persons shoulder, they lack the ability to bring their shoulder up into Flexion vertically (without weight). If we can't do this unloaded, it will not be a recipe for success when we add weight and allow gravity to force your joints into those ranges of motion that they don't have strength and control in…yet. That's why we're here. Give those shoulders the perquisite range of motion needed to express all the movements you've grown to love, and to be able to do them at a higher level with more resiliency.
In this class we’ll work 3 rounds of PAILs/RAILs in our flexion base, but always listen to your body and go at your own pace. If 3 rounds feels like too much, stick to just 2 rounds and slowly build up - or do the 3rd round at much lower intensities.
If Shoulder Flexion is a big limitation and priority for you, programming this class 1-2x a week (with 3-4 days rest in-between) would be ideal.
Enjoy!
