Starting our shoulder strengthening series with rotator cuff isometrics!

The Setup:
Anchor your band to a sturdy point at elbow height. Bend your arm at 90 degrees and step out to create tension in the band while keeping that rigid 90-degree angle.

The Progression:
1️⃣ Hold the isometric position (build foundational strength)
2️⃣ Progress to shoulder rotation movements (external/internal rotation)
3️⃣ Advance to horizontal abduction (pulling across your body)

This progression builds rotator cuff strength from the ground up - starting with stability, then adding controlled movement, and finally working through full range of motion.

The best part? You can do this anywhere with just a resistance band and something to anchor it to!

Stay tuned for the next part!

Wellness Tip: Don't Let Shorter Days Derail Your Routine
As daylight hours shrink, it's tempting to skip workouts and curl up on the couch. Fight back by adjusting your schedule proactively! Morning workouts become even more valuable when evenings get dark early. If mornings don't work, commit to indoor activities or invest in reflective gear for safe outdoor evening exercise. The key is planning around the darkness rather than letting it dictate your activity level.

The Copenhagen plank is a game-changer for building hip and groin strength. This side plank variation involves supporting your upper body on your forearm while your top leg rests on an elevated surface like a bench. It intensely targets your adductors (inner thigh muscles), along with your core and hip stabilizers. Originally developed to prevent groin injuries in soccer players, this exercise is incredibly effective for anyone needing stronger, more stable hips. Whether you're an athlete or just want better balance and lower body control, the Copenhagen plank builds strength in often-neglected muscles.

Nutrition Tip!

Fall comfort food doesn't have to derail your nutrition! Swap heavy cream soups for broth-based versions loaded with vegetables. Choose roasted root vegetables seasoned with herbs instead of butter-heavy sides. Make chili with lean turkey or extra beans for protein without excess fat. The cozy flavors of fall can absolutely support your health goals - it's all about smart swaps that satisfy without sacrificing.

Raise your hand if your shoulders are permanently hunched forward from desk work! 🙋‍♀️

We see this daily - rounded shoulders, tight chest muscles, and weak upper back from hours of computer work. The result? Shoulder pain, headaches, and that constant feeling of tension.

Quick desk warrior fixes:
💻 Screen at eye level (stop looking down!)
💻 Set hourly reminders to roll shoulders back
💻 Doorway chest stretches throughout the day
💻 Strengthen those neglected upper back muscles

Your posture during the 40+ hours you're working affects how you feel during the other 128 hours of your week. Small changes, big impact!

Tired of battling desk posture? We can help!
