EOTW - Band Dislocations

Another mobility favourite of mine that ends up in a lot of client workouts.

The chest and shoulder muscles are usually tight for a lot of people so this ends up being one of those exercises that looks easy but can be tough to begin with.

I would also recommend starting with a lighter band as this has a bit more stretch to it which can be kinder to the shoulders.

The exercise can also be done with a bar although I find holding the bar can be uncomfortable on people's wrists - where you don't get that with the bands.

Key Points

• Lay face down on the floor with abdominals lightly braced and feet close together. Ensure a resistance band is placed above the head
  
• Hold onto the resistance band, keeping arms straight throughout, raise the band up over head
• Continue the arc motion until the band touches the lower back / butt area then reverse the motion
