Tight shoulders? Give them a mobility boost with this bodyweight shoulder exercise. You just need an exercise mat — I love using the best yoga mats for home practice — and a few spare minutes.
Properly preparing your shoulders for upper body workouts using your body weight or for lifting weights is crucial for optimal performance and shoulder health. Your shoulders have the most range of motion of all your joints, as they can help rotate the arms and lift them forward, backward and side to side. However, they are also susceptible to injury and become tight and weak easily if neglected.
