Fix Rounded Shoulders In 3 Steps

Fix Rounded Shoulders In 3 Steps

Fix Rounded Shoulders In 3 Steps for Women Over 40

With age comes wisdom… and unfortunately, at times, bad posture and rounded shoulders.

While we can all agree that rounded shoulders is not an attractive look, it is a lot more insidious than just pure vanity.

Rounding of the shoulders can cause neck pain, shoulder pain, and even back pain. Leaving us unable to reach our potential in our workouts, and possibly making day-to-day tasks uncomfortable.

What are the causes? Usually, tight pecs (chest muscles), biceps, upper traps, levator scap and lats, and overstretched (and weak) mid/lower traps and rhomboids.

In this workout, we cover the three aspects needed to improve rounded shoulders: mobility, strength, and flexibility.

Of course, we can’t fix the shoulders completely if you don’t address your everyday posture.

Fixing these daily tasks that may contribute to rounded shoulders:

– using a smartphone or tablet
– using a computer or laptop
– sitting for long periods
– driving a vehicle
– bending over repeatedly
– carrying heavy objects all-day

I chat about this during the workout too.

Tricep Workout for Women

Tricep Workout for Women

15-Minute Tricep Workout for Women

Everyone HATES arm jiggle!

You know what I’m talking about. And it seems to happen faster when we’re over 40 – don’t you find?

These muscles, the triceps, are muscles I ALWAYS include in my upper body workouts and my total body workouts. I do this because I know that they are a problem area for about 3/4 of the female population, myself included.

And this is the reason why I decided to film a full workout focussing on this muscle only.

Caution: don’t let the “only 6 exercises” lull you into a false sense of “easy-ment”. Cause my tris were killing me for days after this workout.

This workout works, which makes me think you’re gonna love it.

But, as always, lemme know on the ol’ YouTube channel. I love hearing from ya.

 

TOOLS NEEDED

A pair of light dumbbells

THE WORKOUT

1. Tricep push up x12
2. Tricep kickbacks
3. Shoulder presses
4. Skull crushers
5. 1 arm push up
6. Other arm

3 x 30 sec
