Video Transcript

This exercise is triangles. We are going to keep the arms straight but still having that microbend. Take a nice inhale, exhale, close the rib cage and bring the arms straight out. Inhale out, exhale down. Inhale up, exhale out, inhale down. Notice the breathing changes. I just want you to breathe on each move and now we are going to reverse. We are going to bring the weights up and to protect your shoulder, your rotator cuff you never want to bring the weights way up here you always want to keep them at about 85 degrees, this being 90 so we're going to inhale up, exhale in and lower, inhale up, exhale and lower. One more time, inhale up, exhale and lower. You will get out of the exercise what you put into it in terms of how much you are tensing the muscles and acting like you are going through mud.
