Considering I’m pretty lazy when it comes to mobility, this was very easy to follow and get good! I need to pick up some recovery gear, what bands and other stuff would you recommend? I already have a foam roller

Great little routine. Suggestion. It would be great to have you talk us through each exercise.  Visuals obviously help, but the additional voice instruction would be great. Cheers.

Definitely need this. Didn’t realize how weak my rotator cuff was and how to exactly target rebuilding that strength

Maegan

Wow did not realize how much work I need on my rotator cuff and so happy to find some doable exercises to rebuild the strength!
