A healthy shoulder goes all the way to accompany us in various daily activities like lifting, carrying, and playing while also maintaining a good posture.
A user named “Jakob” shared beginner-friendly ring exercises on platform X that will help you get healthy shoulders with many other benefits. Let’s have a look at them:
Ring Row - Basic Pattern: In this exercise, hang the rings below your shoulder length. Then grab the rings and walk until you get the right momentum for the exercise as shown in the video.
Ring Rows Progression: Here, you need to keep your shoulders directly under the rings with extended legs and only heels touching the ground. Pull yourself up as shown in the video by rotating the ring inside until your biceps touch your forearm.
Ring Support Hold: Progression 1-3: You can do this exercise with 3 variations or anyone fitting your level the best. The first one includes touching the floor, in 2nd one no touch with the rings are not rotated, and in the 3rd one, there is no touch with rings rotated outside. Push the rings against your body while keeping your elbows locked.
Superman Rows: This exercise needs you to keep the rings at your hip height. Then lean into the rings while straightening your body and keeping your arms locked as shown in the video. This exercise helps open up the shoulder angles.
CG One Ring Chin Up: Here, choose one ring and hold it with a close grip. Then push your body above until the collarbones touch the ring. Come down as slowly as possible to use the strength for more movement.
One Arm Ring Hold: This exercise includes 2 variations where you alternate raising your legs with an Ipsilateral and Contralateral Hold. While performing the exercise, bend your knees at 90 degrees and keep your arms under the ring as shown in the video.
