Shoulder Mobility and Warm-Up: Prone Swimmers

This exercise is one of my favorites to warm up the shoulders and mid back as well as work on improving shoulder mobility.

Make sure to retract and depress the shoulder blades (squeeze shoulder blades down and back- like pulling the shoulder blades into your back pockets) and try to avoid shrugging the shoulders up towards your ears.

Perform 1-2 sets of 5-10 reps.
