Shoulder Conditioning Routine

STRENGTH BUILDING – Length 15:00 – Items needed: Resistance bands

This strength building routine will focus on your shoulders, aiding in injury prevention and faster progression through beginner tricks.

Tips to help you get the most out of this workout:

• Choose a resistance band or bands that allow you to achieve 10-15 reps with good form.
• If you don't have a pole to anchor your band around, close it in a door (a sturdy door), or wrap it around any sturdy object. The product I linked above provides this "door stop" option.
• Always watch the related videos listed before doing any workouts or routines. This will ensure you're familiar with each of the exercises used in the routine.
• Track your sets and reps. Don't worry if you can't do all of the reps I suggest. Instead, make sure to write down how many you did do so you can try to do one or two more next time.
• This workout is suitable for those who are new to pole or are recovering from sickness or injury.
• Make sure you've been cleared by your health professional before starting any exercise programs.
• Always leave a day of rest between workouts when you're starting or just getting back into exercise.
• To build strength, use this routine 2-3 times a week for 4-8 weeks.
