Forward Freestyle

Your shoulders need to have optimum flexibility if you are going to be an elite sprinter, pitcher or have an effective tennis serve. The exercises in our Shoulder Series will help you strengthen up your shoulders as well achieve optimum flexibility.

If you don't have hand bells try it with a half filled water bottle. It is important, however, to keep a relaxed grip with your hand, so don't use too large of a water bottle. Do not do this exercise with a standard weight or barbell.

Procedure: 

Make sure that you are in your bare feet.

Stand with your feet, a little wider than shoulders width apart.

Start to move your arms around like you are swimming freestyle.

Don't lock your elbows, but do keep them straight.

Move slow at first and then pick up the speed.

Move until you lose form or fatigue sets in.

You will only need to do one set.
