Hi, I'm Kristie LaTray, fitness expert and trainer with Fit and Fabulous Training. Today, I'm going to show you exercises to improve the range of motion in your shoulder. Five to ten minutes walking, jogging, jumping rope, anything that increases your heart rate really gets you warmed up and ready to do these exercises. The first exercise is downward facing dog. Now to do downward facing dog you want to bring yourself on your mat. You want your hands to be about shoulder width apart. Feet are about hip width apart. Start out in a plank position. And from here you are going to lift your hips up toward the ceiling pressing your heels down towards your mat. Now your fingers are stretched out, palming your mat. Press through the palms of your hands, press your chest towards your thighs. And use your core to lift your tailbone up toward the ceiling. You can rotate between a plank and a downward facing dog. But a downward facing dog is an excellent exercise to help increase the range of motion of your shoulders. Another thing you can do is an across the body stretch. So bring your right arm out in front of you. And bring it across your chest. Maintain your posture. Standing with your feet about hip distance apart, slight bend in your knees. Core engaged. Standing tall. Maintain this posture as you bring your arm across your body. Hold it here for a good 30 seconds. And repeat on the other side. Another exercise to increase the range of motion of your shoulder is to simply stand tall. Bring your arms behind you. Clasp your hands together. And maintaining your posture begin to pull your clasped hands away from your tailbone as much as you can. You are getting a good stretch through the shoulder and increasing the range of motion with time. Arm circles are another exercise you can do to increase the range of motion of your shoulder. Are shoulder joint is a ball and socket joint. It means it goes in a rotating fashion. So when we are practicing this it helps improve the range of motion of our shoulder. So you can do big circles. Make sure you go in the opposite direction as well. These are exercises you can do to increase the range of motion in your shoulder. I'm Kristie LaTray, find me online at fitandfabuloustraining.com.
