Xco Trainer Shoulder Exorotation

Video coming soon...

The xco Shoulder exorotation workout is designed to primarily engage the Shoulders.

The xco, a handheld exercise tool, adds resistance to the movement, intensifying the workout.

By performing controlled exorotation movements with the xco, the Shoulders are targeted and strengthened.

While the workout may also engage auxiliary muscles, the xco’s main focus is on the Shoulders.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold the xco in both hands, palms facing down.
Bring your elbows close to your sides, keeping them bent at a 90-degree angle.
Start with the xco positioned at your chest level, with your forearms parallel to the ground.
Keeping your core engaged and your back straight, exhale as you rotate your forearms away from your body.
Continue rotating until your forearms are perpendicular to the ground, feeling a stretch in your shoulder muscles.
Inhale as you slowly return to the starting position, controlling the movement.
Repeat the rotation for the desired number of repetitions, maintaining proper form throughout.

Focus on maintaining proper posture throughout the exercise. Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart, engage your core, and keep your shoulders relaxed. This will help you target your shoulder muscles effectively and prevent any unnecessary strain on your neck or back.
Start with a light weight or resistance band to ensure proper form and prevent injuries. As a beginner, it’s important to gradually increase the intensity of your workouts. By using a lighter weight, you can concentrate on engaging your shoulder muscles and perfecting your technique before progressing to heavier weights.
Imagine squeezing your shoulder blades together as you perform the exorotation movement. This will help you activate the muscles in your shoulders, specifically the rear deltoids and rotator cuff muscles. Visualize the muscles working and contracting with each repetition, and feel the burn as you challenge yourself.
Control the movement throughout the exercise. Avoid using momentum or swinging your arms, as this can take away from the effectiveness of the exercise. Instead, focus on a slow and controlled motion, emphasizing the eccentric (lowering) phase of the movement. This will engage your muscles more effectively and promote muscle growth and strength.
Don’t forget to breathe! Inhale as you prepare for the movement and exhale as you perform the exorotation. Proper breathing technique not only provides oxygen to your muscles but also helps
