This round is 2 minutes long, 30 seconds of each of the following exercises, repeated twice:

Tactical Lunge:
This exercise focuses on strengthening your legs in a functional movement patter, while working your grip, scapula stability and postural musculature to maintain proper form and upright positioning, foot speed and placement, hand coordination and timing and trunk stabilization

Shield Squat Press:
Due to the awkward shape and weight distribution, the shield focuses on trunk/lower back stabilization (in the low squat position, the shield pulls you forward, forcing you to distribute your weight on your heels...proper squat and lower back protection), shoulder stability (in order to control the shield movement), grip strength and the functional squat pattern as well as general shoulder strength for overhead lifting

Round 8:
First exercise is Persian Mil Drumming.  In this exercise, you must maintain your shoulders and scapula in their proper position (Correct Posture) in order to effectively train your shoulder/scapula stabilizers for strength and endurance.  The shoulders are held in proper position statically while the arms move the mil (dynamically).  This also works your grip and forearm strength and endurance.
Second exercise uses the Persian Mil again, this time for the Shield Activity.  Your shoulder is a ball and socket joint and the most unstable joint in the body.  You must train it throughout the entire available range of motion in order to stabilize and strengthen it to its potential.  You are moving the Mil using a circular blocking technique.  This not only works your shoulder mobility and stability but also strengthens your grip and forearms.  Combine these two exercises in a 2 minute circuit, and your foreamrs will be toast!

KB Fitness Post Rehab Circuit RD 6

Round 6 consists of the Side Plank with the Nabard Short Device Rear Delt Raise followed by the Nabard Shield Torso Rotation.
The Side Plank works on Core Stabilization particularly engaging the obliques while performing a Scapular Retraction exercise, which is great for postural muscles.  Here, you are stabilizing your body weight on 1 arm using core and shoulder stabilizers, while actively working the Rear Delts on the opposite side.
The Shield Trunk Rotation works grip, shoulder stability, trunk rotational strength while weight shifting from 1 leg to the other.
