Side-Lying Thoracic Rotations

The first exercise Carolina Romero demonstrates is side-lying thoracic rotations. To do this exercise, Carolina recommends laying down on your side and bending the knees at a 90 degree angle. The bottom hand should be used to hold the knees in place, while the other arm is extended in front of the face. From here, the upper body should be rotated as far as possible in the opposite direction, and then returned to the starting position.

Carolina emphasizes that it is important to focus on not letting the knees move during the exercise. This exercise should be done for three sets of 12 reps per side.

Thoracic Extensions with a Foam Roller

The second exercise Carolina demonstrates is thoracic extensions with a foam roller. To do this exercise, Carolina recommends placing the foam roller under the shoulder blades. The lower body should be kept as stable as possible, and the hands should be placed behind the head. From here, the upper back should be extended as far as possible and then returned to the starting position.

Carolina notes that this exercise should be done 3 to 4 times a week, either on its own or incorporated into an existing workout routine. She also recommends adding this exercise to a pre-golf game warmup.
