Hey everybody, it's Doctor Jo. Today I'm gonna show you some advanced shoulder exercises
with the ActivMotion Bar. And they're gonna be pretty basic exercises, but what makes
them advanced, is when you use the ActivMotion Bar, it has steel weights on the inside and
when you move, you have to work much harder with your muscles to keep everything stable.
So it gives you that extra push when you're doing the exercises. The first exercise is
gonna be the half turkish get-up. Which is kind of easy if you don't have a weight, but
pretty tough if you do have a weight. So you're gonna lay down on your back with you knees
up, almost in a sit-up position. Hold the bar right in the middle. And try and keep
those weights in the middle as well. And then your just gonna bring it straight up, and
then slowly come back down. So you want to control everything. If you go fast, it's gonna
be easy. But if you slow it down, it's gonna be a lot harder. And then you can switch sides.
Keeping it in the center. Coming up and slowly coming back down. For the next exercise standing
up. Hold the bar in the middle, and it's gonna be a shoulder abduction out to the side. So
try and keep those weights in the center again and just bring it up to about 90 degrees and
then slowly come back down. So really try and control it and try and keep those weights
in the middle. Slowly coming back down. If you go fast, it's not gonna be hard, so make
sure you're going nice and slow and control it. Then you can go into a scaption direction
which is not out to the side and not completely in the front, but kind of at that 45 degree
angle. So just coming up this way now and then slowly coming back down. Again, try and
keep it those weights in the middle if you can. Just come up to about 90 degrees and
then slowly come back down. The next exercise is a shoulder windmill. With the bar, again
you want to hold it in the middle. Try and keep those weights in the middle, and the
bar is gonna be parallel to your body. So up in front of you this way. And then you're
gonna hold it up, keep those weights in the middle, and then just slide down the opposite
leg. Try and keep those weights right in the middle. And slide down and then come back
up. And then you can switch sides. For the final exercise, it's just gonna be a static
hold. So hold the bar in the middle, try and keep those weights in the center. Hold it
straight out in front of you and just try and keep that bar straight. So you can start
off with maybe just 5 seconds and work your way up to 30 seconds if you can. But just
trying to keep it nice and in the center there. There you have it those are your advanced
