On day 7 we are moving our focus to a particular skill that we all need to be able to do, which is shoulder flexion, or reaching overhead. This is an area where people are very vulnerable to becoming injured. Some of the isometrics will be isolated, focusing on one joint motion at a time. Others will incorporate the hips and spinal regions together, as they do in daily life. Even though certain types of isometrics can be very intense, we will be performing isometrics for the purpose of muscle activation, so the resistance used should not include shaking or cramping.
This routine includes:
Bodyweight shoulder elevation
Shoulder abduction / upward rotation with a strap
Shoulder flexion with the strap
Bodyweight backward bending with overhead reach
Isometric Elbow Flexion (biceps)
Supine Overhead reach with block
Quadruped overhead reach with isometric trunk extension
Prone Shoulder flexion
Cobra Pose
