Shoulder Complex

How to: Shoulder Complex

Equipment:Dumbbell(s)

Trainer:Stephanie Sanzo

1. Holding a dumbbell in each hand in a neutral grip (palms facing inwards), plant both feet on the floor shoulder-width apart. Tuck your elbows by your sides and bend them to a 90-degree angle in front of you. This is your starting position.
2. Inhale. Exhale. While maintaining a 90-degree bend in your elbows, raise the dumbbells outwards and upwards to shoulder height, ensuring that you draw your shoulder blades down and back.
3. Inhale. While keeping your elbows as still as possible, rotate the dumbbells upwards until your palms are facing forward.
4. Exhale. Rotate the dumbbells downwards before lowering your elbows to return to the starting position. Repeat for the specified number of repetitions.
