Side Lying Rotations
By Lucas D. Wold www.carsoncityfitnesssystems.com
Start:
- Lie on left side
- Support right knee on medicine ball
- Push left hand up towards ceiling
- Bring right arm across body with thumb pointing towards feet
Motion:
- Reach right arm up and back
- Turn right thumb up, pointing above the head
- Attempt to touch right shoulder to ground
- Return to start
Repeat for desired number of reps and switch sides.
By supporting the knee before rotation, movement occurs in the thoracic spine, an area of the body needing mobility. This motion also stretches the internal rotators of the shoulder.
