Shoulder injuries \u2013 particularly to the rotator cuff \u2013 are one of the most common amongst gym goers and, if you experience it, you\u2019ll then find upper body days are a no go for quite a while. \u201cThe key to fireproofing your shoulders is to strengthen your rotator cuff muscles and improve your overhead shoulder mobility,\u201d says Coach Milad, a personal trainer and co-founder of Tailored Fit PT. You don\u2019t have to spend hours doing this; Coach Milad has shared three simple exercises that will take you roughly 10 minutes that you can slot into your week.<\/p>\n
Strong, mobile shoulders are about more than unlocking better pressing and pulling lifts in the gym, they\u2019re essential for everyday life. Healthy shoulders daily tasks easier, from reaching overhead to carrying shopping bags, especially since they\u2019re the most mobile joint in the body. They even support better posture, therefore not giving them attention can lead to discomfort and increase the likelihood of injury.<\/p>\n
