    The routine

    Eight exercises, in order

    Do them top to bottom. Tap Watch on any card to see it big in the player above. The orange arm is the one doing the work.

    Ground rules

    Read this once

    Slow beats fast

    Lift for 1 count, lower for 3. The lowering part is where your arm gets stronger.

    Light is right

    Use nothing, or a full 16.9 oz water bottle (about 1 lb). This is not weightlifting.

    Burn yes, pain no

    Tired muscles are fine. Sharp pain, or pain inside the elbow or shoulder, means stop and tell a parent or coach.

    Same days each week

    Pick 4 days, like Mon, Tue, Thu, Sat, and do it before any throwing at practice or clinic.

    For parents

    This is a strength and mobility routine for healthy arms, built for 10U and 12U players. It is not a treatment plan. If your daughter has ongoing shoulder or elbow pain, have her seen by a doctor or physical therapist before she keeps doing it, and let her coach know.
