SHOULDER DISLOCATIONS

The shoulder dislocations exercise is a shoulder mobility warm up that can be completed before any upper body workouts or athletic activities. Start by holding a broomstick or dowel wider than shoulder distance apart with an overhand grip. Raise it up and over your head and down behind your back. Slowly reverse and repeat. You can shorten the distance between your hands to increase difficulty.
