We will begin diversifying our upper body exercises by using a t-shirt or exercise band for tension exercises. 

This circuit can be done on your off days from ‘Ori training and can easily be combined with another circuit.

- From kneeling position 
- Place your hands just outside the shoulders 
- Bend at the elbows to come down 
- Keep your core tight as you come down 
- Extend your arms engaging your chest as you come up

Push-up (or Modified)

Use a t-shirt or exercise band.
Create tension by pulling outwards.
While maintaining tension, extend outwards in front fully before raising upwards to ceiling and returning to starting position.


Our goal is to maintain the tension.
Go as slow as necessary. We are building strength and body awareness.

Tension Armwork 1

- Lying face down on the ground, arms extended above your head in front of you

- Draw your elbow down to shoulder level

- Raise your chest off the mat while keeping feet and toes down on floor. Hold for a few seconds

- Lower chest to mar and extend arms above head fully

Cobra Raise

- Stand or kneel with a band tight at the hips and grasped in both hands
- Keeping a slight bend at the elbows 
- Raise your hands laterally and up to shoulder height 
- Lower your hands keeping the tension to starting position

Resistance band lateral raise

From a flat back position, arms extended, alternate tapping opposite shoulder. 

When reaching, aim to align fingertips with spine while raising chest and driving hips toward floor.

Key here is NOT ROCKING. The workout comes not only from raising the arms but in stabilizing the unnecessary movements. This is how we exercise control while gaining body awareness

Shoulder tap & Reach

Starting chest to floor, raise chest off mat and extend arms above you.

Alternate drawing elbows back to chest in breaststroke motion

Take your time to allow full range of motion. You do not need to swim fast. Your goal here is shoulder mobility, full arm extension while maintaining tension in back.

Breaststroke
