Attention my fellow hard core dedicated athletes! Lets keep those bodies in the gym, box, and pool and out of pain in 2015. I think its safe to say that we have all, at some point in time suffered some type of shoulder injury from lifting (or even from sleeping in a compromising position, as crazy as that sounds). Unfortunately, even with outstanding form we are still at risk of a shoulder injury. To prevent injury it is especially important to give our shoulders an adequate warm-up especially during the winter months that lie ahead. Following your basic pre-training warm-up it is crucial to perform just a few simple rotator cuff exercises. The following is a list of my personal pre-training shoulder warm-up. I also prescribe this near exact routine to all of my clients and patients alike. 1) external shoulder rotation using a band and a rolled towel (elbow at 90 degrees) 2) internal shoulder rotation using a band and a rolled towel (elbow at 90 degrees) 3) external shoulder rotation (elbows and shoulders at 90 degrees) Perform 2-3 sets of 12 repetitions prior to your actual lifting routine and those shoulders should be primed and ready to rock! In the event your shoulder (or any other body part) is really nagging you and setting you back in and out of the gym, please give me a call at 941-735-2000 to set up your complimentary session with me today! Please keep in mind that days and times are limited so pick up that phone and give me a call ASAP. Keep it healthy, lean and strong! getfitwesthartford JMA
