In this clip we are going to do a high shoulder raise with a suspension trainer. You are going to grab your suspension trainer with an overhand grip and you are going to pick your angle. If your feet are closer to the base, it is going to be a little bit more of a challenging exercise and if your feet are further away, it is going to be a little bit easier. We are going to start with our hands overhead and then we are going to open up into a Y. Try and keep the elbows slightly bent, press forward, and open. On this one you want to really watch your neck and shoulders making sure everything stays relaxed and keep your back nice and straight using slow and controlled movements and if you want to challenge yourself a little more, you can take one leg off the ground and if that is a little bit easy, you can also take your feet a little closer towards the base.
