PROPS NEEDED: Chair (without armrests)

Grab a chair and get ready to get into the nooks and crannies of your upper limbs. Expect to encounter challenges in isolating wrist movements from elbow movements, elbow movements from shoulder movements, and shoulder movements from shoulder blade movements. We explore our active ranges in shoulder rotation, both external and internal, and move the shoulder joint through its fullest expression without borrowing from other parts of the body. We use kinetic stretching and isometrics to grow our capacity in a variety of ranges at the shoulder joint. We end by loading the upper body with our own body weight and gravity in creative versions of exercises like push-ups, tricep dips, and side planks. Ends with a nice moment resting your legs up on the chair.

Cautions: Wrist loading, shoulder loading, knee loading.
