Shoulder warm-up: 5 recommended elastic action

The shoulders are the hub of upper limb movement and are at a very important core position! Any upper limb training movement will use the shoulder joint. No matter whether it is training the chest, back, shoulders, hands, or even deadlifts in the lower body, you need to use the shoulder joint! No

　　In the process of exercise, the shoulders are the most likely to cause injuries. If your shoulders are injured! Then you will give up all upper limb training!

　　Preventing problems before they happen is what we should do! Therefore, when training the upper body muscles/single shoulder muscles, you must pay great attention to making the shoulders fully warm up before training

　　Today I will introduce you to a few great shoulder warm-up movements for elastic bands! Help you strengthen important stabilizing muscles on your shoulders and muscle groups near the shoulder blades

　　　The elastic band is the most convenient fitness training tool, especially in some small movements (collision before exercise). The elastic band is simple and convenient, and can provide tension at all angles, which is very popular.

　　The following movements will be better to relax with some pectoral muscles, latissimus dorsi and triceps!

　　Action 1: Pull the elastic band back

　　1. Stand up, keep your body straight, not Swing forward and backward.

　　2. Hold the elastic force downwards with both palms

　　As shown in the figure: Start the shoulder and pull outwards!

　　　Operation 2: The elastic belt shoulder horizontally abducts!

　　1. Also adopt a standing posture, with the body upright, and hold the elastic belt with both hands in front and lift it higher than the shoulder!

　　2. Use the shoulder to clamp the elastic belt backwards and tighten the elastic belt. The top of the action allows your shoulder blades to squeeze together tightly!

　　　Operation 3: Y-shaped side lift

　　1. Stand wider with one foot, and step on one end of the elastic belt. Hold the elastic band with the opposite hand

　　　2. Start the shoulder and lift it backwards and outwards!

　　The elastic band is fixed at the rear, then walk forward a few steps, grasp the elastic band with one hand on the side of the body

　　　Start the shoulder and lift it upwards over the head!

　　　Action 5: Surround the shoulders with both hands

　　The feet are wider than the shoulders, then step on the elastic band and hold them wider!
