This week you’ll learn to do the next 3 moves in the Dynamic Flexibility section of Level 1 of my free online personal training program, The Program to Improve Your Fitness.  These 3 upper body flexibility exercises will improve range of motion and serve as a great warm up activity.

In week 2 of Level 1 of my program you’ll learn how to do the Open Arm and Open Chest stretches as well as the Windmill stretches.  These moves will improve range of motion in the shoulders and serve to warm up the muscles of the upper body.  For the past 20 years as a personal trainer and strength coach I have used these moves in my routine and in the routines of my clients, and I can attest to their effectiveness.  Take the time to learn how to correctly perform these moves.

The purpose of Level 1 is for you to learn how to move better so that you can get stronger, and these upper body flexibility exercises will help to improve range of motion, which is a key component to proper movement.  These exercises will also become a regular part of your warm up/flexibility routine regardless of your fitness level. 

The elements of this free online training program will combine to improve your strength, balance, flexibility, agility and stability so don’t skip any of these free instructional fitness videos or take any of the seemingly simple movements for granted; all of these exercises are important as they compliment each other.

Remember to take a little time every week and check HealthAndFitnessAdvice.com for the regular updates.  Using my free exercise program will be like having your own personal trainer.
