Beginner Upper Body Strength Workout | Rotational Strength || Diasatsis Recti Safe Osteoporosis Mods
In this beginner upper body strength workout, we focus on rotational strength! You'll work on opening the chest and getting full range of motion and mobility in the shoulders and upper body.
Rotational strength is vital for accessing your shoulder strength, and I'll take you through a complete upper body workout to help you maximize your mobility AND strength.
This upper body strength workout is part 2 of a series. Part 1 teaches the basics of shoulder movement so your form is on point as we add intensity.
This workout is great (and safe!) for advanced Diastasis Recti recovery. :) Not sure if you're in advanced recovery? Leave a comment and let me know!
This upper body workout is also safe for osteoporosis and osteopenia, with on-screen modifications for some exercises. **You'll want to keep your back straight as you rotate and forward bend. These exercises are not off the table if you have osteoporosis or osteopenia, in fact rotating around a straight spine can be very beneficial to maintain mobility of the joints. As always, please follow your medical professionals guidelines.**

      @KendraFitzgerald 2 дні тому

      Hi! Yes this is a prolapse safe workout. The key to working out with prolapse is the awareness of bearing down. You'll want to check in with your pelvic floor movement in all the exercises, and notice if you 'bear down' on any effort. If you do feel bearing down, modify your hip or rib position and consciously lift the pelvic floor as you're exhaling. :) Let me know if that helps!

Currently trying to fix myself with yoga classes & content like yours, however, due to chronic pain associated with the aforementioned and lack of stability/mobility in my neck, shoulders & upper traps I would appreciate any tips or exercises you think might be of benefit to add to my daily routine to assist with my recovery?

I just released one this morning around upper back and shoulder strengthening, and mobility and myofascial release workouts for the shoulders & neck are coming soon too. Definitely follow along with those workouts - they will help you explore your own shoulder anatomy and learn techniques to help your recovery.

    • @KendraFitzgerald
      @KendraFitzgerald Місяць тому

      Happy to help! Your pelvic floor will naturally lift throughout the exhale, right from the beginning. Keep the breath fluid and smooth, no need to hold the breath. Upper ab gripping can create more pressure down into the pelvic floor and make that exhaled contraction more difficult. Try lifting your arms overhead to disengage the upper ab gripping and try the breath again - see how it goes!

    This was great, I have a ton of neck/shoulder tension due to computer work, thanks for sharing.

    Loved this work out 🏋️‍♀️. I’m taking a non pharmaceutical approach to living with osteoporosis and this is right on target for my philosophy. Thanks ❤
