QUICKIE Overhead Shoulder Flexibility Routine (20-30 Min)
Heads up, this routine is also part of a 2-routine bundle if you’re looking for even more shoulder stretchy fabulousness!
Who this routine is for:
By popular demand - this is a short shoulder training routine great for students who don’t have a whole hour to dedicate to stretching.
Progressions of drills in this routine are offered for all levels, so whether you are more of a beginner and just working towards being able to reach your arms 180* overhead, or you already have a solid amount of overhead shoulder flexibility and are looking to go deeper for skills like bridges, foot grabs, etc - there are versions of drills that can challenge you at your level (and beyond, as you progress!)
What you get:
THIS IS NOT A FOLLOW-ALONG VIDEO like many of my other recordings. Instead, this is a written routine that includes detailed how-to videos for each drill, as well as educational content to help you maximize your progress in your shoulder training journey.
This PDF includes:
Flexibility training best practices
Anatomical considerations for training your shoulder flexibility
How to test to see if you have nerve tension that will impact your training (and how to adjust accordingly)
Suggestions for training frequency
A program of drills with how-to videos explaining proper form (here’s an example of one of the videos), what sensations to look for, what muscles to engage (if needed), and how to modify to adjust the difficulty/intensity for each drill. The “default” routine is meant to fit a 20-minute training session
Additional recommended drills (along with how-to videos) for another 10 minutes of training for students who want to extend their practice to a 30-minute session
A printable all-on-one-page list of drills for quick reference
Heads up: Because each of the how-to videos is filmed as an educational video with comments on form, technique, and modifications - and not as a “follow along with me” style video, the videos will likely take longer to watch than to actually execute the exercise. So plan on your first run-through of this routine to take longer than 20 minutes because you’ll likely be watching the videos in their entirety which will take a bit longer (and then just skimming through them for reminders in the future).
Recommended props:
Yoga mat
Some kind of long strap - can be stretchy or stiff
2 yoga blocks
A chair or low bench
Some wall space
