Stretching
10 minutes of each training session
Sit on a chair with your arms stretched out behind your back and your hands together. Immediately lift your arms backwards and upwards so that the front of your shoulders become increasingly stretched. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Relax for 20 seconds.
Sit on a chair. Place your left hand on the right side of your head while your right hand holds onto the chair seat. Pull your head slowly to the left and hold back with your right arm so that the right side of your neck is increasingly stretched. Pull your head in different directions (forwards/backwards) so that all the muscles around your neck are stretched. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds each time. Repeat the exercise on the opposite side.
Stand with your training arm in front of your body. With your opposite hand, press behind your elbow on the training arm so that your elbow is pressed against the opposite shoulder, causing an increasing stretch on the outside of the shoulder and upper arm. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Repeat the exercise on the opposite side.
Strength
50 minutes of each training session
Stand facing a wall. Hold a ball between your hands and stretch your arms towards the wall. The distance from ball to wall is about 20 cm. Tighten the muscles around your shoulders and ‘fall forwards’ so that the ball hits the wall and pushes your body back to the starting position. The further away from the wall the body is positioned, the greater the strain on the shoulders and arms.
Attach an exercise band at elbow height. Stand with your training arm furthest away from the elastic and grip the elastic with your hand on your training arm. The elbow is bent 90 degrees and held in towards the body throughout the exercise. Your forearm and hand rest against your stomach. Rotate your forearm out to the side to tension the elastic band and hold the tension for a few seconds before slowly returning your arm to the starting position.
Attach an exercise band at elbow height. Stand with your training arm closest to the elastic and grip the elastic with your hand on your training arm. The elbow is bent 90 degrees and held in towards the body throughout the exercise. Rotate your forearm in front of your stomach to stretch the elastic and hold the tension for a few seconds before slowly bringing your arm back to the starting position.
Secure the elastic at floor level. Stand with your side against the elastic band. Stand with your side against the elastic with your training arm furthest from the elastic. Hold the band in the hand on the training arm and keep your hand on the opposite hip. Swing your arm up and backwards with your arm extended so that your hand is above head height. Hold the pull for a few seconds and slowly release the pull as your hand returns to the starting position.
‘Push-ups’. Lie on your stomach with your hands under your shoulders with your fingers pointing forwards. Stretch your arms so that your torso and pelvis are lifted straight and only your hands and toes are supported. Your stomach should not touch the floor.
