External Rotation: Exercise Execution 1. Adjust the cable to the same height as your elbow. Stand with your left side to the band a couple of feet away. 2. Grasp the handle with your right hand, and keep your elbow pressed firmly to your side. We recommend you hold a pad or foam roll in place with your elbow to keep it firmly in position. 3. With your upper arm in position, your elbow should be flexed to 90 degrees with your hand reaching across the front of your torso. This will be your starting position. 4. Execute the movement by rotating your arm in a backhand motion, keeping your elbow in place. 5. Continue as far as you are able, pause, and then return to the starting position. ☆ Do you need help?

#Meanwhile in the #Algarve NO WORKOUT is complete without visiting our dear friend THE BOSU BALL for some well needed and often neglected old school #balance and #proprioception work. No sets, no instructions, no rules, just jump on it and PLAY AROUND. Fall off it, get back on it and try again. If your lucky enough to have someone with you try and push them off or throw something at them, after all isn't this fitness Ish supposed to be fun? Lol. Regardless of how many you do or how long you're on it for let us know how you get on. #ThisIsLife #OwnIt #ItsMine #TrackMafia™ #TeamMates™ #🔃™ #Nike #Portugal #Valverde #Active #Faro #Algarve #LifeStyle #Canon #Canon_official #Photography #PhotoOfTheDay #MyCanon #Sigma #Art #35mm #VSCO #LightRoom #Oakley #Frogskins
#Meanwhile in the #Algarve we continue to hover between BEAST MODE and a state of dehydration and dizziness lol. I like to call this particular bag workout "THE SIXTY" Why? You'll soon find out. EVERYTHING is done as close to maximum effort as possible. The idea is to pound the life out the bag both HARD & FAST left-right, left-right, left-right stylie. If you're not panting half way through your first 60 secs you ain't hitting it right lol. Remember this particular workout isn't about technique it's about CARDIO. 60 punches low. 60 punches mid. 60 punches high. 60 punches mid. 60 punches low. 60 crunches. 60 secs steel chair. 60 secs recovery. That's 1 set. Today I did 3 sets as part of my 60 minute workout. So give it whirl and let me know how you get on. Shouts as always to @jules_buena on the 📸 shutter. #ThisIsLife #OwnIt #ItsMine #TrackMafia™ #TeamMates™ #🔃™ #Nike #Portugal #Valverde #Active #Faro #Algarve #LifeStyle #Canon #Canon_official #Photography...
Freckles, sweat, crazy hair don't care. Starting to feel like my old self again post-marathon #donedidit #gymlife #trackmafia™ #selfie #algarve
#Meanwhile in the #Algarve we enter the BEAST MODE in this beautiful outdoor space lol. Nasty lil work out this morning or should I say earlier on this afternoon when the sun was conveniently at its hottest. 1 mile road run easy. 1 mile road run hard. 2 mins recovery. Now we work. 👇🏿1 set 👇🏿 how many sets? 5 BRUV, FIVE. 3 mins bag work. 30 secs core of your choice. 30 secs battle ropes. 30 secs squats. 15 secs balance on each leg on bosu ball. 2-3 minutes recovery. Collapse and think about what the fluff just happened. Now grab yourself a foam roller and some bands and STRETCH and FOAM ROLL for a minimum of TWENTY MINUTES. Don't neglect the stretch n roll or do it half heartedly or tomorrow you probably won't be able to move as freely as you'd like. Now Leme know how you get on.
