Start your day with this exercise to improve your range of motion.
on a run could result in you struggling with tight, closed-off shoulders. But grab a lacrosse ball and get ready to open them up.recommends that anyone looking to improve their shoulder mobility take a moment to get down and put the joint through its range of motion. You could try the same thing standing up, sure—but Atkins says you’ll be better off once you get down on your chest.
“If we do this exercise standing up, we tend to lose the core due to either the hips being tight or instability in the knee or ankle joints,” she says. “By laying down, we’re able to put all of our focus in the arm by eliminating all other joints. Keep the shoelaces down and press the front of the hips in the ground to further ensure core stabilization.”
Focus on your movements here—it’s not worth your time to rush. Start by lying on your belly in the prone position with the ball in hand. Reach the arm holding the ball overhead, keeping it as straight as possible, working on bringing the bicep above the ear. Once you reach the highest level, start to bring the straight arm through its full range of motion behind you. Continuously rotate the arm so that the thumb is rotating toward your body.
