Doorway Push

This exercise can be performed in a seated or standing position, ideally against the smooth inner edge of a doorway, working both arms together.

Aim to keep your hands flat against the doorway, with your arms either bent or straight, exhale and push against the door frame for 5 – 10 seconds prior to inhaling and resting the arms.

Can also be performed in a lying position and also in a squatted position aiming to push your hands against the top of the door frame.

Take care that nobody accidentally closes the door whilst you have your hands on the door frame.

By simply turning your palms around, you can work a variety of muscles around the shoulder joint.

If you find it uncomfortable on your hands, wrap a small towel around them to protect them against the frame.
