(Health-NewsWire.Net, May 21, 2015 ) San Francisco, CA -- In this YouTube video, CrossFit Chiang Mai Thailand trainer Barry Lavis describes the use of WOD Nation resistance bands to warm up shoulders.
Barry Lavis, an experienced coach and trainer for Olympic-level athletes, talks about the importance of good shoulder health. He says shoulders are used in a lot of exercises like snatch, pull-ups, push-ups and burpees. WOD Nation resistance bands can be used to loosen and warm up muscles for these exercises.
Dynamic movements with the use of a resistance band can be used not only by athletes but also by individuals who work at a desk for long periods of time.
A thinner resistance band can be used for the exercises Lavis demonstrates because they are not strength exercises. The proper way for doing different kinds of exercises to warm up the shoulders are demonstrated in this video.
Overhead. Do 15 reps with arms directly overhead. This is to open and close the shoulders. Front. Do 15 reps. Pull aparts. Back. Put the exercise band at the back of the shoulder blades and pull to the front. Pass Throughs. 15 reps of moving the band overhead from front to back.
Lavis shows the correct way of performing the movements using the thin red-colored WOD Nation resistance bands to warm up shoulders.. The purpose of these exercises is mobility for the shoulders rather than development of strength.
Shoulders stretches develop mobility. A good shoulder stretch minimizes the risk of injury from exercise. It also prevent or reduces stiffness and pain for those who are desk-bound for long periods of time. WOD Nation resistance bands are convenient to be used at home, the office, or the gym.
