Joint Health Routine – Upper Body

This 1-hour class is suitable for anyone, but if you suffer from EDS, hypermobility, perimenopause, menopause, or have loose, tight, or weak-feeling joints, this video could change your life! When starting, use this class 2-3 times a week for one month for the best results. After this, you can try reducing the number of sessions per week. If your joints start to have issues again, increase your sessions.

Once you’ve done the exercises in this class for a month, you can pick a few of your favorites to include in every warm-up or to use between lifting weights. This will save you time and challenge your body in a new way!

One last thing. Emotions get stuck in our bodies, and movement is the most effective way to release them. So if you’re trapped in identifying with whatever “ails” you—for example, if you’re going through perimenopause and you base your actions around the fact that you’re going through this, you talk about how bad it is with everyone and dwell on it—emotionally you feel bad, upset, out of control, or frustrated, and your symptoms will feel magnified. We don’t want that! Instead, release this identity and focus on how strong you are becoming with each workout!

In this class you’ll target:

• Shoulders
• Elbows
• Wrists

No pole is needed, but you will need a place to anchor a resistance band, and I’ll provide a list of equipment below.

• Resistance band
• Fit Ball
• Ankle Weights
• Circle resistance bands
• Optional Adjustable Dumbbells
