Summary: Shoulder Stability and Core Activation with Coach Rodrigo

- Objective: In this session, Coach Rodrigo provides a focused routine on building shoulder stability and core activation, aiming to enhance body coordination and improve strength through a series of controlled exercises.

- Equipment Needed: Dumbbell (light to moderate weight), medicine ball, or yoga block.

- Routine Highlights:
- Sit-Up Press with Stability Control:
- Position: Begin on the floor, engaging the core while pressing up with one arm.
- Movement: Roll up to press, holding for three seconds at the top, and then lower back down with control, maintaining elbow alignment and shoulder stability.
- Reps: Five repetitions per side.
- Benefits: Develops shoulder stability and enhances core engagement by controlling movement through different positions.

- Kneeling Stability Pull with Ball:
- Position: Kneeling with one knee on the ground, holding a medicine ball or yoga block in one hand.
- Movement: Engage the core and lift the back foot slightly off the ground while pressing up, challenging the body’s stability.
- Benefits: Increases shoulder and core stability, helping to strengthen the entire chain of movement from the foot to the shoulder.

- Shoulder Table Mobility Finish:
- Position: Hands placed firmly behind the body with feet flat on the floor.
- Movement: Lift hips and hold for up to 10 seconds, focusing on extending through the shoulders and creating a stable base.
- Benefits: Encourages shoulder mobility and serves as a balanced cooldown to complement the stability-focused exercises.

- Key Takeaways:
- Whole-Body Connection: Each exercise reinforces the importance of a connected approach to stability, integrating shoulder, core, and lower body for overall strength.
- Scalable Intensity: Begin with lighter weights (e.g., 3-4 kg) to build control, progressing to heavier as stability improves.
- Mind-Muscle Coordination: The routine emphasises working through each movement thoughtfully to activate not only muscle strength but also neurological coordination for balanced support.

This routine, led by Coach Rodrigo, offers an effective way to boost shoulder stability while activating the core, making it an ideal program for those looking to improve strength, coordination, and overall mobility.
