(Health-NewsWire.Net, June 01, 2015 ) San Francisco, CA -- According to Lavis, the shoulders are used for a lot of exercises like snatch, pull-ups, muscle-ups, strict press, push-ups and burpees. In order for athletes to do these exercises, they are advised to perform dynamic movements using resistance bands. The WOD Nation exercise bands benefit athletes during training but they can also be used by anyone who wants to achieve and maintain flexibility. They are also beneficial for those who work on their desks for long hours.
The exercises shown in this video are easy to perform and they can be done in a few minutes. They are not strength exercises, so there is no need to use a heavy resistance band. The band used in this video is a red WOD Nation exercise band. It is the lightest among the WOD Nation's bands. The color-coding of these bands is based on resistance levels. They can also be used in combination to achieve the resistance level preferred in certain exercises.
Lavis points out that some athletes fail to relax and remain passive during exercises using bands. The correct way of doing it is to remain passive and to let the resistance band do its work. Warm up exercises aim to foster mobility of shoulders, back, and neck. They are not exercises to develop strength and they must be done prior to workouts.
In the video, Lavis demonstrates the warm-up exercises and it only takes a few minutes. Only 15 repetitions are needed for each exercise. Since the warm-up exercises take only a few minutes and not too much exertion, they will not sap the athlete's energy during the workout itself. A damaged rotator cuff will not be able to do its function of stabilizing the upper body. This video provides important information needed for doing shoulder warm-ups correctly. The WOD Nation resistance bands are simple tools that can be used to avoid the risk of injury and to rehabilitate those who have sustained injury.
