Flare Strength & Coordination Workout
One in a series of lockdown videos designed specifically to keep our skydiving muscles in shape
Flaring muscles
A simple exercise with bands that you can do at home or in the gym to maintain or better your flaring muscles. Great way to work at a symmetrical flare.
We want to get away from that ‘milking the cow motion’ and this exercise will help even it out”
