A quote for you: "The pain of what you’re feeling is nothing compared to the joy that’s coming."

Did you know women are more likely than men to experience shoulder pain, especially as they age.

Because of the differences in hormones that can affect tendon health, making them more prone to injury. Plus, women often have different shoulder alignment due to a wider hip structure.

Shoulder pain is tricky. It’s usually a mix of:

• Weak rotator cuff muscles

• Poor movement patterns (like shrugging during lifts)

• Tight surrounding muscles

Here’s my quick protocol to bulletproof your shoulders:

1. Mobilize Your Lats
Tight lats can pull your shoulders forward and cause pain—especially if you sit a lot. Try these:

• Anchored Lat Stretch

• Child’s Pose

2. Strengthen Your Rotator Cuff
Weak rotator cuff muscles make your shoulders vulnerable during pushing or lifting. Try these:

• Seated External Rotation

• Band High Pull Apart

• Bottoms Up Kettlebell Hold

3. Improve Spine Mobility
Stiff upper backs force your shoulders to compensate, leading to pain. Try these:

• World’s Greatest Stretch

• Thread The Needle

• Open Book

4. Strengthen Your Upper Back
Weak back muscles cause rounded shoulders and pain. Try these:

• Face Pull

• Bent Over Row

That’s All for Today!

Have a wonderful day,
