Upper Body Warm-up Complex

In a previous post I showed you a great warm-up complex to use for your workouts. That warm-up will work well for both upper body and lower body workouts. However, if you have had shoulder problems, participate in throwing sports or just want to warm-up your shoulders better then the following complex is for you. Many of my baseball and softball players use this warm-up before their games or practice! Give it a try and let me know how it works for you?

The following video demonstrates the whole complex as it should be done. It only takes around a minute or so and will warm-up all of the muscle groups in your shoulder girdle.
