Our massage balls are awesome for helping work on tension in your overused or sore shoulder area including your triceps. Click on the video above to watch as Carrie demonstrates using the massage balls to roll out and stretch her shoulders and triceps.
Instructions:
Use the Double Foam Roller Peanut Ball.
Lie down on your side and rest your triceps in the groove of the peanut ball.
Roll back and forth slowly, smoothly and gently looking for hot spots or trigger points.
Get to your shoulder area too by rolling your hips back slightly.
Alternate method: put the peanut ball on a chair or bench and rest your triceps on top of the ball, rolling it along the chair/bench.
Roll out your muscles for at least 30 seconds.
Another alternate method is to lie down on your back with your shoulder over the groove of the peanut ball.
Follow up the rolling session with a stretch by putting your elbow up against an edge of a wall and stepping into it to slide your elbow up the wall and stretch the tricep along the wall.

In this 8-part series, we’ll teach you how to use our latest product, NeeBooFit Resistance Pull-Up Bands. Ideal for assisted pull-ups, our Resistance Pull-Up Bands are also great for a whole range of exercises. Buy a set today and check back each week for a new video in this series.
For the sixth video in our series, we’ll learn how to perform Straight Arm Pull-Downs. By attaching the NeeBooFit Resistance Band to a pull-up bar, you can use the band to strengthen the muscles between the shoulder blades, the lower trapezius, the posterior chain, and the triceps. Here’s how to do it:
Instructions
Attach a resistance pull-up band to a pull-up bar.
Hold the band with your hands shoulder width apart and with slight tension to form a triangle with the band.
Pull your arm down as you engage your shoulder blades until the bottom of the triangle reaches your waist.
Tip: Keep your belly strong to maintain proper form.
This is the fifth exercise in our new series detailing how to integrate NeeBooFit Resistance Bands into your yoga practice. Check back each week for a new exercise in the series!
Adding NeeBooFit resistance bands to your yoga practice can sculpt your arms and add a new dimension of strength training for your whole body. Practice this series of poses first without the bands, then go back through the list and add them in. You will need your NeeBooFit Resistance Therapy Flat Bands and a X-Heavy or XX-Heavy Resistance Loop Band. Remember to try a few repetitions with a lighter band first, then determine if you need a heavier band. Choose a resistance that allows for 8-12 reps per side and fatigues the targeted muscles by the end of the set.
