🧩Upper Body Movement Flow🧩

Today we wanted to share with you a quick upper body movement flow you can do before your respiratory treatments, utilize in your exercise warm up or just you can do during the day to help improve your upper body movement. Have some fun with it and stay within your range. Everyone is different so customize it based on how you feel.

The goal of this upper body movement flow is to go slow and controlled and take your time. Perform 3-5 per exercise and complete as many sets as you feel comfortable. We recommended anywhere from 1-3 sets.

Check out the link in our bio to watch the full length video where we break down the form and movement of the flow.

Cross training

Why do I? Simple: I want to be good at roller derby and I want to look good naked. I know both require more than just showing up to practice, especially because I don’t pay attention to what I eat. The fact that staying active helps keep my lungs clear is important but not what motivates me.
Training isn’t something I look forward to each week (hence the face in this photo) but roller skating to and from the gym gets my mind right and when the hard part is over- getting me to the gym, I’m there so I don’t have an excuse not to try.
Things that worked for me:
1. Find what motivates you 2. Find a gym/exercises you like, that give you that good burn 3. Be accountable to yourself and others
4. Don’t give up. Doing something is better than nothing even if it’s small. If you can, do; before you can't anymore
