Shoulder Circle Exercises

"KIRK VICKERS: In the next movement, we're going to bring in a physioball and we're going to use the physioball to help demonstrate this next motion and movement. Again, we're going to be dealing with the upper part of the body from the ribcage up, specifically through the shoulders and the shoulder blade region. What we want to do is we want to start off with a good stance and a good position here, a little bit wider than a neutral base outside our hips, just outside our shoulders. I'm going to take a ball, a physioball. We're going to hold it out in front of us, straight arm. We're going to take the ball around as high as we can, full range of motion. This doesn't look that difficult but I assure you, if you try this, this is not as easy as it looks. Coming to a full range of motion as we keep our hips in a nice, stable position. If you pay attention to my hips and my pelvis, you don't see any movement through my hips or my pelvis. I keep it straight ahead as I go through full range of motion to my shoulders and my arms. My elbows do not break, do not bend at all through this particular motion. I reach up, go up as high as I can. Do 10 to 15 in one way and then come back and do 10 to 15 the opposite way."
