Complete Shoulder Workout
Here is a complete shoulder workout you can do at home with just a set of dumbbells, giving that nice, finished look to the entire area.
Shoulder Workout
When working the shoulders, we have to cover three areas, otherwise the workout won’t be complete: the front, side and rear deltoids.
If any one of these parts gets neglected, you can develop muscular imbalances and that can cause havoc on the mechanics of the shoulder. This workout has one exercise for each:
Love Thy Shoulders!
If you haven’t done any of these exercises before, start with small weights and work up until the resistance is right! Which means you use a weight you can do at least six reps per set with and no more than twelve on the final set.
As said in the video, always keep in mind that the shoulder doesn’t appreciate being overly stressed. Putting it out of commission means you can say good-bye to most upper body exercises for weeks or even months.

You can always do lateral raises like this.

Thanks, I do incorporate these in my recent weightlifting efforts for the past month and a half. I play tennis on a regular basis, and I’ve noticed I am hitting the ball harder!
I enjoy working out, but I enjoy more that my fitness has functions that are fun besides picking up heavy metal objects and putting them down again 🙂
Hahaha, yes 😀
Very good exercises! I’m working through a knee injury right now so I should be working on my upper body more.
Hope your knee is back 100% soon, Diane!
