Pilates Theraband Exercises: Rotator Cuff

Video Transcript

"Next exercise we're going to do is going to work your rotator cuff. So you're going to take your band and go ahead and wrap it around your waist. And you can tie it if you want, I don't bother. Depending on how much strength you have, you're going to cross the band over at one side. And the strength you have is to determine, going to determine how much you choke up on the band. The exercise looks like this. You're going to bring the arm out like straight, and then you're going to inhale and exhale, keeping the elbow tucked in, don't let it come away. Inhale center, exhale out, inhale center. For many, the hardest part is keeping the elbow tucked. Exhale, inhale center. The second part of the exercise is to go ahead and really come close to your waist on the band. Once again, tuck your elbow. Take a nice inhale and exhale, inhale. So we're not going as far out, we're going right to that straight point. And exhale, elbows always stays tucked."
