This exercise focuses on working your arms but focuses more on your shoulders. The shoulders are a smaller muscle group. It doesn't take much weight or many repetitions to feel fatigue. STEP #1: Start by grabbing two light dumbbells ... one for each hand. STEP #2: Next stand tall with your feet about shoulder-width apart with your toes pointing forward ... and your knees slightly bent [to avoid an over-excessive movement of your body]. STEP #3: Bend your elbows and lift the dumbbells so that they are shoulder level ... palms facing toward your shoulders. STEP #4: Slowly press the dumbbells up and above your head. As you do, twist your palms so they are facing forward. STEP #5: Slowly lower the dumbbells by bending your elbows while twisting the dumbbells so that your palms are facing your shoulders again [palms facing your shoulders is starting position]. | Front View:STEP #6: Repeat this movement for approximately 10-20 repetitions ... or until your shoulders feel fatigued. NOTE: This exercise will help build sculpted shoulders that always looks great in spring/summer fashion styles. |
