Shoulder - Adduction - Articulations
Equipment
Keeping your arm straight, slowly move one arm across the front of your body towards your opposite shoulder.
Once your hand is as close to your opposite shoulder as possible, hold the position for a few seconds to feel the stretch in your shoulder.
Slowly return your arm back to the starting position at your side.
Repeat the exercise with your other arm, and continue to alternate between both arms for the desired number of repetitions.
Pro Tip
Controlled Movement: When performing the shoulder adduction, it's essential to make sure you're moving your arm towards your body in a controlled and steady manner. Avoid quick, jerky movements as they can strain your shoulder muscles and potentially cause injury. Keep Your Elbow Straight: A common mistake is to bend the elbow during the movement. Ensure your arm is straight throughout the exercise to effectively target the shoulder muscles. Limit Your Range of Motion: Avoid forcing your arm to move further towards your body than is comfortable. Overextending can lead to injury. It's better to perform the exercise correctly within a smaller range of motion than to risk injury. Warm Up: Before you begin this exercise, make sure to warm up your muscles with some light cardio activity or shoulder
