🔗 Embrace the Challenge: "Your shoulder isn't going to get better with less upper body exercises." 💪 Have you ever faced a shoulder flare-up and thought avoiding upper body workouts was the solution? The truth is, steering clear of challenges won't fix the problem. Instead, it's about embracing the right exercises tailored to your condition. 🚀 Strategic Training: Opt for targeted exercises that promote shoulder health and strength. Smart and controlled upper body workouts can aid in recovery, ensuring you build resilience and avoid setbacks. 🩹 Seek Professional Guidance: Don't navigate the journey alone. Consult with a fitness professional or physiotherapist to tailor a plan that supports your shoulder recovery while keeping you active and strong.

Perform Blackburns aka Prone Snow Angels for healthy shoulders. It's a powerful exercise because it trains the shoulder joint throughout all ranges of motion: flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal rotation, and external rotation. No need to work through pain though. Perform 10-15 reps per set or until burn out. Don't worry about what your scapula are doing whether they are retracted, protracted, etc. Almost everyone, including myself, is SO weak in this movement. There is NO easier exercise that you can quickly learn that can immediately start addressing shoulder issues than the Blackburn. There are a lot of accessory shoulder movements that make pressing pain-free, but nothing is as all-in-one as the Blackburn. Give it a try and let me know what you think. Comment "SHOULDERS" and I'll send 8 workouts you can use to strengthen and bulletproof your shoulders. #shoulders #healthyshoulders #fitnesstips #fittips #bulletproofshoulders #rotatorcuff #fitness #health #exercise #shouldersworkout

LEVEL UP Your Hip Mobility 🧹🦵Hip mobility is the ability to move your hip joint through its full range of motion. It is important for your posture, balance, and performance in various activities. Poor hip mobility can lead to lower back pain, knee injuries, and reduced athletic potential. 🔄👍One way to improve your hip mobility is to do a simple exercise with a broomstick. You will need a broomstick or any long stick that you can hold comfortably. The exercise involves standing on one leg and tipping forward as you kick the other leg up behind you. Then, you rotate your torso and hip towards the supporting leg, and then back the other way. This will help you stretch and strengthen the muscles around your hip joint, as well as improve your coordination and stability. ; Do this exercise before your workout or as part of your daily routine. You will notice a difference in your hip mobility and function over time. #hipmobility #broomstick #stretching #fitness #health #wellness

DUMBBELL FRONT RAISE The Dumbbell Front Raise is a great exercise that targets the front deltoids, which are the muscles on the front of your shoulders. To perform this exercise, start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand with your palms facing your thighs. Keeping your arms straight, slowly lift the dumbbells in front of you until they are at shoulder level. Pause for a moment, then slowly lower the dumbbells back down to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of reps. To incorporate the Dumbbell Front Raise into your routine, you can try the following workout: 1. Dumbbell Front Raise: 3 sets of 10-12 reps 2. Push-Ups: 3 sets of 10-12 reps 3. Bent-Over Rows: 3 sets of 10-12 reps 4. Dumbbell Shoulder Press: 3 sets of 10-12 reps Remember, it's important to use proper form and start with lighter weights to avoid injury. As you get stronger, you can gradually increase the weight. Don't forget to listen to your body and take rest days to allow for recovery. Keep challenging yourself and stay consistent, and you'll see progress over time. Keep up the great work! #DeltoidMuscles #FrontRaises #DeltoidGains #DeltoidWorkout #DeltoidDefinition #DeltoidGoals #ShoulderGains #MilitaryPress #ShoulderDefinition #ShoulderPress FOR INFO ON A VARIETY OF FITNESS TOPICS CHECK OUT THE FITNESSLOG.ORG BLOG: https://lnkd.in/gZ-jc7pg

[When Your Knees Talk, It's Time to Listen] My knee talks to me. Seriously, it clicks and clacks—a memento from an ACL tear in my early 20s. If you're over 50 or 60 and active, you might have a few chatty body parts too. That's precisely why I always opt for the joint-friendly versions of exercises, methods, and techniques. While some routines promise to be the fastest way to build muscle or burn calories, they're not much good if they lead to an "exploding" knee. I prefer to keep my knee—and all my joints—happy. This approach means I can stay consistent with my workouts without needing to take breaks to "let it rest," ensuring steady progress and results. Choosing joint-friendly exercises doesn't just prevent injuries; it's about making sustainable progress and enjoying a pain-free, active lifestyle as you age. Does your body 'talk' during workouts? Like and share if you're all for keeping fitness pain-free and joint-friendly. Remember, it's not just about getting there fast—it's about moving well for a lifetime. #JointFriendlyFitness #JointFriendlyFitness #FitnessOver50 #HealthyJoints #SustainableExercise #PainFreeLiving #ListenToYourBody #AgingStrong #ConsistentFitness #WorkoutWisdom #LongTermHealth

Weighted Goblet Squat - ankle mobility✅ For weekly health & fitness tips, please subscribe to my YouTube Channel - James Tang Fitness Hips hurting? Knees clicking? Back bugging out? The culprit could be a lack of ankle mobility. If you consider the ankle to be the first major joint that absorbs shock when your foot hits the ground, you can see why having full mobility is so important. If ankle mobility is lacking, that shock will be absorbed somewhere further up the kinetic chain and may contribute to pain at the knee, hip or even low back. Please consult your PT before starting any exercise program. All kinds of exercise activities are potentially dangerous, and you must seek advice from the appropriate health care professionals. If you’re interested in improving your health & fitness, losing weight, or if you suffer from or wish to prevent back pain, please take a look at my book - A practical guide to the self-management of lower back pain - A holistic approach to health & fitness: Available from Amazon. ✅ #kneepain #ankleinjury #sprainedankle #whitesocks #toes #athletes #anklemobility #heel #barefeet #backpain #anklerehab #injuryprevention #sprain #bone #plantarfasciitis #skeleton #osteo #spine #gobletsquats

Strong arms are not just about aesthetics; they’re crucial for everyday activities and overall physical health. By focusing on your biceps and triceps, you can enhance your upper body strength, improve your posture, and reduce the risk of injuries. Biceps Workouts: These muscles are vital for pulling actions, lifting, and carrying. Exercises like bicep curls, hammer curls, and chin-ups can help you build strength and endurance. Triceps Workouts: The triceps are essential for pushing movements. Incorporating exercises like tricep dips, overhead extensions, and close-grip bench presses can significantly improve your arm strength. Remember, a balanced routine combining both biceps and triceps exercises will not only make your arms stronger but also more functional and resilient. So, embrace the journey of arm workouts and feel the transformative power in your daily life! #arms #biceps #triceps #trainhard #workoutvideos #workouts #workoutroutine #workoutoftheday #fitness #accountability #consistency #grit #workouts #music #vibe #mood #aperfectcircle #2024 #letsgo
