I’m still on the theme of strengthening shoulders, but now with a little core strength added in.
- Start by lying on your side. Bring your right elbow directly under your shoulder.
- Let your right hand go directly out from your elbow. Either press the palm in to the ground or make a fist.
- Step your left foot in front of your right.
- Flex your right toes towards you.
- Lift up your hips by pressing into your right shoulder, left foot and the outside edge of your bottom right foot.
- Try not to shrug your shoulders, but instead lift your rib cage up away from the ground.
- Hold for a few breaths, then come down and roll over to the other side.
- If you’re shoulder feels ok in this position and you would like to work harder, try stacking your feet.
