3 Shoulder Sculpting Exercises

Getting your shoulders sculpted can seem like a hefty task.

*Like, umm, I don't need to look like The Rock here*

The best way to get the most of your shoulder exercises is to visualize the connections and go slooooow.

I am going to take you through 3 of my go-to shoulder exercises because I've got you, ladies. This is your at-home guide to sculpting your shoulders with light weights, cans of soup, water bottles, whatever you’ve got!

Arm Raises

• Hold onto your light weights (no more than 2-3lbs)
• Stand tall, zipping up through your pelvic floor and deep core
• As you lift your arms, think about scooping them out, down and up
• Lift up across your chest
• Use your mid-back to support you as you raise your arms
  • This will keep you from rounding forward
• Make sure you control the movement on the way down as well
• Work your arms closer together with each raise

Side Arm Reaches

• Turn your palms up with your hands open
  • You want to only use 2-3lb weights for these
• Stand tall, zipping up through your pelvic floor and deep core
• On your inhale, reach your arms out and slightly up
• On your exhale, pulls your arms in
• You should really feel the connection under your shoulder blades and through your deep core

Shoulder Press

• Bring your arms out to the side, avoiding bring them back too far
• Bend your arms and push from underneath your shoulder blades
• Think about pushing down out and up with your elbows
• Use your mid-back to support you as you raise your arms
• Make sure you control the movement on the way down as well
• You should not feel any tension in your traps and neck
