Side Arms seated on box
Sitting on Box 3-6 exercises each side.
1 Blue spring
This exercise targets the upper body and internal/external shoulder muscles. It contains both pull and push and rotation movements.
1.Internal shoulder rotation (inside arm to risers) open the door
2.internal shoulder adduction (pirate arm)
3.Hugging a tree (Strap in riser arm)
4.Oblique Twist (spinal rotation)
5.External shoulder rotation / open the door
6.External shoulder adduction / Pirate arm
What to look for:
-Shoulders rounding (Keep chest proud)
-Moving too much (hold shoulder still and only move within that range)
-Shoulder pain (limit movement to a range that is tolerated - often just to shoulder height)
-Spine flexing or shifting sideways
-Poor ab engagement (focus on corset of support through truck and keeping hips and haulers facing forward)
-Neck displacing forward (think about having a tall neck - like a string is lifting up to ceiling)
-Wrist rocking or extending (keep writs long - like an extension of your arm / imagine you have a pen tucked inside your watch strap and you can’t bend your wrist / sometimes making the movement smaller helps as the wrist cock occurs when the client toys to get s bit ‘more” out of the move).
-Painful knees (clients can use a soft pad under knees or sit cross legged with block, or last resort because of flow interruption on a box)
-Moving the carriage to fast and getting slack in ropes - cue to slow down / stronger clients may need to move position away from ropes for more tension.
