BANDED WALK OUTS

This is a shoulder stability exercise that targets the internal rotators in an isometric contraction. Anchor a band behind you at roughly ear height. Keep the elbow flexed to 90 degrees and abducted to shoulder height. Grip onto the free end of the band and hold it so that your fist is directly above your elbow. Take a step forwards to add tension to the band and hold without breaking this position for up to 10 seconds. Step back to relieve the band tension and rest for 10 seconds before repeating.
