Attention surfers. This is a great exercise to perform prior to your surf session. Give it a try!
・・・
Not many exercises train T-spine rotation & shoulder mobility while reinforcing lower-body stability like this Half-Kneeling T-Spine Rotation Windmill Flow at the Wall.👍
This video is from my own training session yesterday as it’s a personal favorite of mine. See below for specific instructs.⬇️
Remember, how you breathe matters! This is especially true for t-spine & shoulder exercises as the ribs attach to the thoracic spine & the scapula ride on the ribcage. Your breathing quality is the biggest dictator of ribcage position & rib mobility (check out my Breathe Better 101 course for more on this—link in profile).💯
✅INSTRUCTS:
▪️Take a half-kneeling position (kneeling lunge) next to the wall with your inside knee on the floor & your body close enough to the wall that your shoulder touches without having to lean.
▪️Put a towel/pad under your knee for comfort.
▪️Place a foam yoga block lengthwise between your opposite knee & the wall. Apply enough pressure with your leg so it doesn’t fall. (It’s tough to see in the video but I’m using a black foam block).
▪️Start with your hands together out in front; shoulders aligned and stacked above your hips.
▪️Inhale as you flip your inside palm to the wall (internally rotating your shoulder) then sweep it up, over & back in a windmill.
▪️Exhale as you sweep your arm forward, returning your hands to starting position.
▪️Inhale as you rotate from your t-spine, opening your outside arm to the opposite of side of the wall while keeping your other shoulder pressed to the wall.
▪️Exhale as you rotate back, returning your hands to starting position.
Repeat for 3-5 reps on each side through 2-3 sets.
⚠️CONSIDERATIONS:
✔️Maintain even pressure on the block with your knee to help keep your pelvis & low back stable throughout the movements.
✔️It’s more important that your inside shoulder remain on the wall during the rotation than it is to get your opposite hand/shoulder to the wall. Focus on mastering a shorter range with good form & then build on it.
