Improve your arm muscles and enhance your shoulder flexibility.
Today, we're going to focus on a crucial part of your upper body - the shoulder. The shoulder is the upper part of your arm that connects to the upper arm just over the elbow. This muscle is a powerhouse that can be used during various arm exercises such as the push-up and the shoulder press - a back exercise that raises the arm. To get the most out of your shoulder exercises, it's essential to target the anterior deltoid - the front part of the shoulder muscle. The anterior deltoid has two major functions - rotating the head of the humerus inward, resulting in hyperextension of the elbow, and rotating the head of the humerus outward, resulting in hyperextension of the shoulder.
Now, let's talk about how to incorporate jumping rope into your shoulder routine. You might be thinking, "What does jumping rope have to do with my shoulders?" Well, my friends, let me tell you - jumping rope is a full-body workout that engages your core, arms, and shoulders. When it comes to shoulder day, working out your entire body is key!
