Cool. I've got a program lying around somewhere that I put together with one of the trainers in the arena that I used to use back when I was doing a lot of gym work. I'll dig it out and post it up when I get a chance.

Yeah I'm a smartphone wanker now!

Nice one Keyes!

Other than most dumb phones being indestructible and having a 5 day battery, it's great being a smartphone wanker :)

Rotary cuff stretches would be a good one to throw in
