If I had to guess, I’d say most of us are guilty of trying to ignore nagging injuries. Maybe not even injuries, but those climbing body parts that don’t feel always 100%, minor tweaks and pains say, that you hope if you ignore might just go away?
This is an article from Climb On, Sister! (climbonsister.blogspot.com) by Ann Raber about a shoulder workout you can do on a rest day. The idea with this shoulder workout is injury prevention and overall shoulder health….
“If you’ve got one of those shoulders that’s not quite injured but not quite perfect, and you’re on a road trip and therefor unlikely to take a long rest and see a physio, this scapular stability series might help keep you going. It’s also an ideal preventative workout for the climbing and training seasons, as it targets improved efficiency in movement and injury prevention.” -Ann Raber
The shoulder workout is written out for you and then a video is included to help show the exercises.
The only gear you need is a light or medium resistance band (or if you don’t have a resistance band, 2 lb weights will work).
Injury prevention is worth it! Take a little time to start adding this shoulder workout into a rest day…..
