Shoulder Exercises Women Love To Do

Exercises women love to do to improve the shape and tone of their shoulders include easy side lateral raises.

These can be performed standing up, on a chair or a bench in the gym or on an exercise ball as shown in the image to the right.

Take a couple of dumbbells, one in each hand, and sit comfortably on the ball if that is where you are performing the exercise.

• Position yourself in your start position, with dumbbells touching and arms down in front of you.
• Raise your arms out to the sides, but make sure your elbows don't rise any higher than your shoulders.
• Hold for a count of approximately 2 seconds and return to original position.
• Repeat and perform 3 sets of between 10-12 repetitions.
