Shoulder mobility/flexibility

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

I think my body is trying to adjust to the extra low carb diet, which unfortunately meant that at 5am when I woke up – I did not feel like getting up at all. So this morning there will be no cardio, only some stretching/flexibility work. I’ve included below some videos from YouTube of the work I’m doing to improve my terrible shoulder flexibility. I really like the videos that Kelly Starrett and Carl Paoli do – I highly recommend signing up to the Crossfit Journal as there are some fantastic instructional videos on there too.

First one shows how to do a “Skin the cat”. I don’t have any gymnastics rings yet but there is an alternative with the trusty broomstick!

Next are “Shoulder dislocations”. Although they aren’t as bad as the name suggests! Again with the broomstick :)

And lastly (although it should be first!) a rotator cuff warm up.
