Side-Lying Shoulder External Rotation Primary Muscles Targeted: Infraspinatus and Teres minor Secondary Muscles Targeted: Middle and Lower Traps Why are these small muscles important?... - They help provide stability in the shoulder joint and are incredibly important when it comes to pressing overhead - Without these muscles, you are more at risk for injury, shoulder impingement and will LIMIT HOW MUCH YOU CAN PRESS OVERHEAD! Pros To Being Side-Lying: - Harder to compensate by moving your torso around - Significantly less upper trap activation than if you are standing (think about how gravity works as a factor here) Set-Up: - Lay on your side with your head supported by your other arm, a pillow, a foam roller etc. - Place your elbow on your side and pull the shoulder back (you can place a small towel between your elbow and side for comfort and to help with alignment) Movement: - Rotate your forearm to point your hand toward the ceiling and press your elbow into your side/towel. (This has been proven to activate your rotator cuff even more) - Shoulder blade stays locked into place the entire time - Pause at the top and really squeeze - Slowly lower while still actively squeezing those muscles Common Mistakes: - Moving too quickly (you need to move with intention - these are stabilizing muscles so you need to A - be able to activate them B - they need some level of endurance) - Shoulder blade moves around or "wings out" - Elbow moves around at the side of the body - Using too heavy of weight (you really do not need much) - Shrugging the shoulder *Try this exercise out before your upper body workouts to help prime those muscle

Once the stickers on the floor are full, the yoga class is full. Please check all class times here as our sched...ule has also been updated effective Monday November 16th: www.motionfitnesssaskatoon.ca/classes If you are unable to come to the gym at this time, join our virtual classes in our Motion Fitness Saskatoon group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/MotionFitnessSaskatoon The schedule is posted in the Announcements section of this group each week.

Don’t skip LEGS! Single Leg Deadlift Why: develops balance, improves athletic development, targets hamstrings and glutes, and helps you recognize and address imbalances. How To:... - Start standing - One foot slightly off floor - Shoulders are back and down - Ensure balance is set prior to moving each rep - Hinge from the hips - Knee stays slightly bent - Hips and shoulders stay square and parallel to floor (no rotation) - Kettlebell should stay near your foot - Maintain neutral spine (no rounded shoulders : no arched back) - Squeeze glutes and hamstrings on the way up COMMON MISTAKE: - Curling your toes (your calves will be on - this means you are using your calves for balance instead of the larger muscles in your legs and glutes) - Rounding shoulders - Opening hips (rotating open) - non-neutral spine - knee collapse Regressions: body weight, holding on to something for support, rear foot toe lightly keeping contact with floor.
