Mobility: "Alternate Arm Raise"
OBJECTIVE: Open front shoulders & lats.
-
Stand upright and straighten arm at elbow with palms next to outer thigh facing backwards.
-
From bottom position, lift one arm at a time straight forward directly over shoulder.
-
Alternate between right and left sides with each rep.
-
Perform 5-10 reps per side with no pausing.
Tips: Make sure you lift up "high" over shoulder to
get the opening effect on anterior or front parts of shoulders. Go FULL
ranges of motion.
-
Many older people or those with shoulder damage will struggle to lift completely over the top of shoulders. Don't force--but definitely push to open up the tightness in shoulders a little bit at a time.
-
This is one of my favorite "extras" before I do hard lifting.
