Capoeira Fitness Tip of the Week

This feature is designed to give you functional training tools for your off days when you are not training capoeira. We will be looking at various excercises that we will have as resources for you to devise a strategy for your overall physical development as a capoeirista.

The goals are:

Overall Physical Health

Promoting Longevity

Improved Performance in your capoeira training and game

The shoulder joint is an essential one in capoeira.  We need to know how to take care of it.  These exercises are the standard for shoulder jint stability, and recovery from injury.  They use a simple and remarkably effective tool known as a resistance band.  Nota bad thing to have in your house. 

Resistance Bands + These exercises + Regular Training = Happy Shoulders and Capoeiristas

Enjoy!
