Strengthening the Rhomboids
BETWEEN 15 & 45 MIN

In this session, Ilaria teams up with Daniela O’Connell to take a closer look at the rhomboids through the classic Butterfly exercise. This movement is essential for improving posture and maintaining a strong gravity line, but it’s also one of the most challenging to master. Tightness in the chest, weakness in the rhomboids, or neck issues can make the exercise even harder. Ilaria breaks it down with smart progressions that make the work accessible for different bodies, helping you safely build strength in the internal range of motion where it matters most.
