Shoulder Exercises

Typically women don't want to work these muscles because we think it will make our chest appear larger. FALSE! In fact, working the muscle correctly will result in a natural lift! How lovely :)

As we grow older, our muscles generally grow weaker. Gravity takes over and things start to droop. This is not the way it has to be! Use these chest exercises in one of our training programmes and watch the magic happen!

Exercise 1 - Shoulder Press

Start - Stand so that your feet are directly under your hips and knees are slightly bent. Your elbows are bent and shoulder level. Hold a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing away from you.

The Movement - Lift both dumbbells up to the sky and allow them to meet in the center (above your head). Pause for one second and lower back to the start position of the shoulder exercise.

Exercise 2 - Lateral Raises

Start - Stand so that your feet are directly under your hips and knees are slightly bent. Your elbows are bent and by your sides. Hold a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing your sides.

The Movement - Lift both elbows and weights up to shoulder level. The only joint that is moving is your shoulder joint. Pause for one second at the top and slowly lower back to start of the shoulder exercise.
