Hi, I'm Bill from Beyond Fitness Online. Today I'm going to continue this series on the shoulder, building on the last video. If you haven't seen the last video, it's a short and it's titled How to Improve Your Shoulder with Outside Inputs. So go ahead and watch that one and then come back and watch this one. What we're going to do for this one is kind of put that all together. So we did a sensory warm-up in the last one, and then we did some motor control stuff with moving all the neighboring joints, including the head and the spine. And then what we're going to do is we're going to take this plate, and I use a plate— I recommend a plate that's not going to break if you drop it. We're going to take this and hold it up here, and you're going to do a spiraling action and moving your body out of the way and then back up. Now you're going to want to try and keep your balance, keep your eyes on the plate if you can, but of course be safe. You don't want to fall over. This is a great exercise to get all of those parts moving and working together, so give it a try and follow me for more tips and tricks just like this.
