Stretching
15 minutes of each training session
Sit on a chair with your arms stretched out behind your back and your hands clasped together. Immediately lift your arms backwards and upwards, so that you feel a gradually increasing stretch across the front of your shoulders. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Relax for 20 seconds.
Stand in a doorframe or similar. Extend your arm slightly behind you and place your hand against the doorframe. Press your arms inwards against the frame so that you feel a gradually increasing stretch across the front of your shoulders. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds, then move your arm up and down the door frame and repeat the stretch so that different parts of the muscles are stretched.
Stand with your hands clasped behind your back. Bring your shoulder blades together (imagine you are holding a pencil between them). Hold the position for 10 seconds. Relax for 10 seconds.
Stand with your working arm held in front of your body. Use your free hand to press behind the elbow of your working arm so that the elbow is pushed towards the opposite shoulder, creating a gradually increasing stretch on the outside of the shoulder and upper arm. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Repeat the exercise on the other side.
Place the working arm behind your neck with the elbow bent. Using your free hand, pull behind the elbow of the working arm so that the elbow is pressed against the opposite shoulder, creating a gradually increasing stretch. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Repeat the exercise on the other side.
Stand with your arm stretched out at your side, your hand slightly clenched. Rotate your arm so that your thumb is turned inwards and as far back as possible. Then bend your wrist as far as possible so that the back of your hand is facing downwards and you feel a stretch on the outside of your elbow. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Relax for 5 seconds.
