We had a lot of interest in our last blog so I wanted to provide those working in the lobster industry with a few more movements! Having adequate mobility is one key attribute to staying healthy and fit during the lobster season, another important attribute is STRENGTH! Here are FOUR exercises that focus on activating and strengthening key muscle groups used during the lobster season.
