Full body

Shoulder impingement is not a fun thing to have.  I've noticed improvements in the past month and am definitely above the 90% mark (or so it feels).  I seldom have pain from quick motions, as I had previously.  I'm also able to reach above my head, pain-free, though I seldom do so!  In my experience, while the lifting helps, the stretching seems to yield the biggest benefit.  I've figured out ways to get my shoulder into the right position while stretching, to remove stress and still get a good stretch...that goes a long way too!

I was a bit sick over the weekend, so haven't lifted since last Thursday.  Dave and I also overdid it that day and I was pretty sore all weekend!!

And by the way - love my new roller!  If you think you are too cool for a roller, think again!  Try doing 20 push-ups with the roller right above your knees, moving in an arc motion where one rep starts high, with hands below/at the waist, you then drop low  to touch the ground as your hands pass your chest, and end high with  hands just above the shoulders...then backwards to the start to complete the arc...20 reps...try it!

Without more, today's workout:
