Seated Shoulder Rotation
Starting Position:
1. Find a comfortable, flat surface to sit on.
2. Sit cross-legged or with your legs extended in front of you.
3. Keep your back straight and shoulders relaxed.
Movement Instructions:
1. Place your hands gently behind your head with your elbows pointed out to the sides.
2. Slowly rotate your shoulders back, squeezing your shoulder blades together as you do so.
3. Hold this position for a moment, feeling the stretch across your chest and shoulders.
4. Return to the starting position by rotating your shoulders forward.
5. Repeat the shoulder rotation for about 8-10 repetitions, alternating the direction if comfortable.
Tips for Beginners:
- Move slowly and with control to prevent injury.
- Focus on your breathing; inhale as you rotate back and exhale as you return to the start.
- If you feel any discomfort, reduce the range of motion or take breaks as needed.
