WAX ON WAX OFF

This is a shoulder stability exercise that is used to strengthen the rotator cuff and scapular protractors. Loop a mini band around your hands or wrists and place your palms on a wall. Start with your hands just below shoulder height and with a soft bend in the elbows. Slowly slide your hand outwards and upwards in a C-shaped pattern one hand at a time, and return them back down to starting position to complete a repetition. You may alternatively hold a different type of exercise band in your hands if you don’t have a mini band.
