I'm going to show you an exercise
called the Side to Side Release &
Catch using the LifeSaver Rope. This exercise will require a
tremendous amount of hand and forearm
strength, coordination, and tying it all into the core for powerful rotation.
You're going to pick up your
lifesaver rope, fingers are on the inside on either side. You're going to
create a swinging motion. And what that's going to do is it's going to feel
like the hands are opening to one side, and they are crossing on the other
side. We can change the exercise, depending upon which side we release and
catch from.
So
the first one I'll do is from the cross to open. So here, I'm crossed and I
catch it open. You can create that coordination and it's great for the
forearms, great for the hands, great for coordination. Now, if I release from
the open side, now I'm catching with the hands crossed. It's a little more
challenging. It's a great movement for
that lateral rotation, flexibility through the shoulders and the lats, hand and
forearm strength, coordination to the core. That's your Side to Side Release
and Catch using the LifeSaver
Rope.
