Yoga For Swimmers: Stretch Your Shoulders in three Minutes or Considerably less!

We are pumped to share one of our favorite stories from Self here on FitSugar!

Lazy days at the beach, surf, sand, sun . . . There’s no better way to unwind this summer than with a dip in the ocean. But all that swimming could lead to major upper shoulder tension. So, rather than killing your beach buzz, try this easy three-minute yoga routine for a relaxing postworkout stretch in your living room.

“Like most repetitive actions, swimming can lead to muscular imbalances that create painful sensations in the shoulders, rounded posture and a less efficient stroke, so it’s important to counter them with regular stretching,” says David Magone, director at PranaVayu Yoga in Boston. “Because yoga provides a variety of highly effective stretching methods, it is an ideal complement to swimming.”
