What have you always been told since childhood!? POSTURE, POSTURE, POSTURE!!! This still holds true in adulthood since we all tend to slouch in our computer chairs or on the course. To help drill this back into your brain, this might possibly be the best exercise for your posture. Not only do you work both arms (saving you time and being EFFICIENT) but it also strengthens all the muscles that are probably weak from being hunched over in a chair for the better portion of the day!

Exercise

Stand with your elbows bent to 90 degrees and grab a resistance band between in your hand. Tie the other end off to something stable like a door knob or a table. Now, set your shoulder blades down and back, and slowly twist your arm outward so that you are turning them AWAY from the band trying your best not  to move your elbows.

 

Time

 

Do this for 6-8 reps, and repeat 3 times.

It’s time to work on strengthening those rotator cuff muscles and getting your shoulder into a better position. For this what you can do is line up a band kind of perpendicular 90 degrees with your body. Then what you’re going to do is grab onto that band and hold it nice and tight. So the arm at 90 degrees. You’re going to make sure you set that shoulder as we did earlier, so you’re in a good position, you’re not rolled forward, you’re kind of in this comfortable set position, arm nice and tight and you’re going to twist out to the side and come back in. Twist your to the side and come back in.

As you twist out your shoulder blades are gonna come towards the inside of your spine. So as you kind of see that shoulder move back and come back in. Move back and come back in. And repeat. And that’s it. See you in the next video.
