Shoulders Workout

Why Shoulders Workout is important to have a fit and sexy look

The shoulder is the most moveable and unstable joint in the body. The "ball" in the upper arm is actually larger than the socket that holds it, and with the range of motion being so great, it is susceptible to injury.

To remain stable, it must be kept in place by muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Therefore, it is very important to make sure these soft tissues are strengthened to keep the shoulder strong, flexible, more coordinated, and conditioned to handle stress.

There are many daily activities that use the shoulder muscles: lifting groceries, any type of manual labor, household chores, raking leaves, handling children, etc. It is therefore critical that they be able to handle stress well. This is especially true for athletes vulnerable to overuse injuries.

Important small muscles that surround the shoulder joint are called the rotator cuff muscles. They are the key muscles that keep the joint functioning properly. Weakness in any of the four muscles can cause instability, which can lead to numerous injuries.

Exercises that strengthen the shoulder and the rotator cuff muscles can be done at home, work or the gym. You can include these exercises in your regular workout routine or do them separately. The rotator cuff muscles are very small, so be careful not to use too much weight or do too many repetitions. Also, it is important to keep a balance between the front and rear rotator cuff muscles. Many people tend to overwork the front muscles by training only the major muscle groups. They work the back, chest, shoulders, and arms, all of which internally rotate the shoulder. As a result, the muscles used in external rotation are under worked.

Internal shoulder rotation exercises

*Shoulder press w/ Swiss ball and dumbbells

*Dumbbell shoulder press

*Push-ups

External shoulder rotation exercises

*Reverse flyes w/ Swiss ball and dumbbells

*Rear delt raises w/ resistance band

*Dumbbell lateral deltoid raise

External rotator cuff exercises

Make sure to use light weight. The external rotators are small muscles that can be injured easily if you are not careful. Recommended weight is from 2-10 pounds. Limit your repetitions to 6-8 to start, working up to 12.

* Lying ‘L’ flies – Lie on your right side on a bench. Place your right hand either under your head or on the floor for support. Your left leg should be on top of your right leg, with your knees slightly bent. Your left arm should be bent to 90 degrees at the elbow, with your upper arm to your side, with your left forearm on your lower chest region. Hold a dumbbell with your palm facing in towards your body. The weight should be light to begin with; you can even start with a can of soup. Keeping the 90 degree angle, lift the weight as high as you comfortably can, but still make sure to keep your elbow close to your body. Lower and repeat. Do the same for the other arm.

* Side lying abduction - Lie on your side, on the floor or on a bench. Hold a dumbbell with your arm against your side, palm facing into your leg. Slowly raise your arm straight up to 45 degrees, with a slight bend in your elbow. Lower and repeat. Do the same for the other arm.
