If you are the type of person who sits behind the desk whole day then this exercise in strengthening rotator cuff is perfect for you to help you maintain your posture.
TRANSCRIPT:
Hi I’m Megan from Inner Strength Pilates and Barre, and today I’m going to show you a rotator cuff exercise.
So we’re going to use a thera band, I’ve got mine tied up against the bar that you can also tied up on a chair, just of course keep your hand on the thera band if you have it against the chair so you don’t pull your chair over.
So legs nice and wide in the second position, shoulders back, we’re going to start with 8 rises, as we do the rise we’re going to pull the thera band, and then bring the hand out so you’re working the rotator cuff.
So we do 8 rising up, and down, lift, and down, careful not to turn the body with it, so keeping nice and square, we do 4 more, 4, and 3, 2, and 1.
Now we stay up, so there is rise should have worked your calves, and like I said with the thera band that should be working your rotator cuff.
Then we leave the arm out you might actually need to grab a little bit further on the band, we’re going to do some plies now, on the rise lengthen the arm away for 8, so we go 8, coming up, 7, now again you can stay all rise, if that’s too much you can drop the heels down.
We do 4 more, 4, 3, 2, last one we’re going to stay in plie flip the hand around so you’re about the thera band that way out and so works.
We’re going to stay and we direct the arm out on a diagonal, so we go out, and in, just staying with the legs, back in, out, and out, we do 4 more, 4, 3, 2, last one we stay up pulses with leg and pulses with the arm.
We go back, back, back, make sure you pulses tough under so you’re not arching in a lower, keep pulsing, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1.
If you can we’ll complete another set, so start from 8 rises with the rotator cuff, okay.
This is a great shoulder strengthening exercise for all those people who sit at their desk all the time, get quite rounded shoulders.
So want to strengthen rotator cuffs and the scapula stabilizes to hold those shoulders back so your natural posture won’t be that rounded forward.
So like I said try for another set or if you can go to 3 sets.
Enjoy.
