9/14/22- Upright Row
9/7/22- Lateral Raise
Hello all! We’re still bringing the heat with shoulder exercises to turn September into Sweatember! Upper body movements will help strengthen and tone your shoulders so you can build strength and avoid future injuries.
Today’s exercise will be a Lateral Raise. Start by standing up tall and hold a weight, water bottle, stapler, or anything around the home/office. Raise your arm laterally to the side and keep your elbows straight. Slowly lower down and repeat for 10 repetitions on both the right and left side.
8/31/22- One Arm Deadlift High Pull
Hello everyone! We’re bringing the heat this month and working on deadlifts! Deadlifts are a great way to build total body strength, with little to no equipment needed. You can use a dumbbell, stapler, water bottle, or whatever you have laying around the house and office.
Today we will work on performing a one arm deadlift high pull. The one arm deadlift works on shoulder stability and your core will have to adjust with holding the weight in one hand. Plus, your shoulders and upper body are being engaged as you lift.
Start with your feet shoulder width apart. Lower the weight down to the ground and then stand up tall and pull the weight up to your chin. Keep your core engaged and look straight ahead as you perform this exercise. Repeat for 10 reps on both the right and left side.
