3 Essential Banded Upper Body Movements for Shoulder Mobility and Stability #ShoulderMobility

All right, today we're gonna go through the 3 banded hamstring movements that we do on a pretty regular basis here, really targeting our lower body chain and posterior side of the leg, okay? So we've got 3 movements again that we're gonna go through. First is our straight leg raise. So as Phoebe is showing here, wrapping that band around the bottom of the foot, bringing that leg as high up as we can while we keep that knee locked out. And as an added stretch, we're gonna pull those toes down towards your nose here. Awesome. Let's get one more rep there. Good. And then we're going to our second movement. Okay, so starting with that leg as high as we can bring it with that knee staying locked out, we're going to bend that knee towards your chest. Don't drop that foot. Good. And then we're going to kick that heel as straight up towards the ceiling as we can go here. Okay, helps to keep that band together on the inside of the leg so we've got room to kick out. And we can let that knee fall towards the side a little bit, open up that hip some more. Good. Let that knee fall out to the side. Awesome. Okay, and then we're going to go into that 3rd movement here, working that across the body stretch. So again, making sure this knee stays locked out. Okay, we're going to internally rotate that hip, keep that foot nice and flat, and we're going to work across the body here. You should be feeling this down the outside of the hamstrings, outside of the glutes, and sometimes even in the calf depending on how tight we are. Biggest focus on this This last stretch is to make sure that knee is staying locked out and we're really forcing that leg into the tension on the band that we created. Okay. So again, that was our straight leg kick stretch, our banded hamstring kick out, and I'm going to cut back.
