Shoulder Rotation

Picture Coming Soon!

How to Do It

Loop the resistance band around a STURDY object, threading one handle through the other and pulling it tight. Stand with left side facing the pole, holding handle in right hand. Starting position is with elbow at 90 degrees, palm resting directly in front of the belly. Keeping that 90-degree angle in the elbow, slowly rotate the shoulder and swing the forearm out to side (only go as far as you comfortable can!). Slowly bring arm back to starting position. Make sure to keep the wrists straight and the elbow bent at the SAME ANGLE throughout the movement. This is a difficult exercise for a rather small muscle group, so use light resistance and don't rotate your shoulder too far back. Repeat for 12-16 reps and then switch arms for 1-3 sets. For beginners, use no resistance.

This exercise works the internal rotator cuff muscles of the shoulder.
