Functional workout-Shoulder external rotations

Functional workout-Shoulder external rotations

External shoulder rotations. This is another whole body exercise using an arm driver from knee to overhead and in this demonstration a weight to create tension and transverse plane rotation in the trunk of the body. This feeds motion down to the hips, knees, ankles and of course the feet. The Stanse is sagital plane so different reactions occur in the front foot and back foot also because the pelvis is positioned in a rotated position it has to then create different load variables in the facets on the left side of the spine and the right side. Thoracic spine is also in rotation along with the head and neck...start with no weight to test range of motion

Best workouts to lose weight fast-Trunk rotations

This is a whole body exercise. Using the arm as a driver laterally reach from knee to overhead and externally rotate. This creates trunk rotation and in this demonstration a weight is used to create tension and load. Feet are in a sagittal plane stance which prepositions the pelvis in such a way that the load will be different on the facets of the left side of the spine vs the right. The chain reaction goes down to the hips, knees, ankles and of course the feet. The chain reaction also goes up through the thoracic spine, neck and head. Test the exercise with no weight to gage range of motion and balance.
