Thank you for joining this class! This session focused on improving shoulder flexibility, preventing stiffness, and maintaining strength to support daily activities. Keeping your shoulders mobile can help prevent pain, injury, and even the need for surgery in some cases.

Key Takeaways and Next Steps

Warm-Up & Shoulder Activation

Start with gentle shrugs, arm circles, and shoulder blade squeezes to warm up the muscles and increase blood flow.

Range of Motion Exercises

Movements like arm circles (small to large), forward reaches, and swimming motions help maintain and improve shoulder flexibility.

Strength-Building with or Without Weights

Using light weights (or just body weight), exercises like shoulder presses, punches, and lateral raises can help build strength safely.

Balance & Posture Awareness

Incorporating full-body movement, such as stepping with arm exercises, helps improve coordination and maintain good posture.

Cool Down & Stretching

End with deep breathing, gentle stretches, and interlaced hand movements to release tension and enhance flexibility.

Always listen to your body and modify movements as needed. And remember: Always consult with your healthcare provider before beginning a new exercise program.
