the amazing lat!

I know that I repeat myself often during our classes especially when it comes to: "focus on your lat". The Latissimus Dorsi. It is my favourite muscle (yes, people can have a favourite muscle).This muscle is responsible for: pulling your arms down from a raised position both in front of and beside your body. It also rotates your elevated, arm from beside you to in front of you (think HUG). There are no movements in everyday life that do not require a contribution from the muscles of your back. Due to the instability of the shoulder joint (it's considered a 'floating joint' as it is and the constant use of this area, it is important to strengthen it - therefore, embrace my endless nagging during our back exercises :)
