Additional Arms - Amy uses the OPTP Stretch Out Strap (or a simple rolled up towel, long belt or belt from a robe could also be used), to present a brief standing shoulder girdle class. With a solid progression from basic to more advanced, the exercises address shoulder mechanics and range of motion improvement. This mini-class could be a great warm-up before golf, surfing, volleyball, tennis and/or any sport or activity where the upper body will be called upon. Those with shoulder issues should take precaution. (Filmed December 03, 2010)

Thank you Durga......it's nice to have a few 'great little classes' to take for those moments where you just have a few minutes for additional thngs. The green strap is great for shoulder work. Thanks for watching!

Is the Stretch Out Strap superior to the Fletcher Towel? I just bought the Fletcher piece because I think it has some elastic properties, the strap in this video doesn't look very like it has much give. Great class though regardless of the equipment options.

Hi Donavan, I like the towel too and yes, it's eleastic quality does make certain things easier to do. I prefer the SOS strap because of it's specificity for shoulder mechanics (see Pat Guyton's work and her website as she has developed work with the green strap, www..patyguytonpilates.com), and for the PNF value. Pat has a full class with the SOS strap as well as a workshop up now. It gives much more explaination. Thank you for your feedback about my class. Talk again soon.

Just what I needed! My neck and shoulders have been incredibly sore the last two weeks. I feel so much better now.

Highly recommend to others like me who have desk jobs and stare at computer screens all day.

Thanks Amy!
