Perfect Well Rounded Shoulders

December 4, 2008

As with any other muscle group that you are trying to perfect, the shoulder muscles can be a little temper mental. You have to remember that there are 3 parts to the shoulder, the front, side or middle, and the rear deltoids. Each group demands its own special attention in order for you to get the results that you are looking for.

If you are looking for a great shoulder workout with a little cardio thrown into the mix then any martial art routine will provide you with both. Get one of those exercise tapes from home such as Tae Bo and add some hand held weights. This will kill 3 birds with one stone by working out your shoulders, great cardio exercise and burning the calories.

When at the gym, shoulder presses with dumbbells are excellent for the shoulders. Do 4 sets in reps of 15-10-8-8 to get the most out of this workout. Make sure to have proper posture with your back and to stretch properly as well.

Give yourself the art of illusion of a smaller waist line with well rounded shoulders. Upright rows can make this illusion a reality for you. You want to do 4 sets in reps of 15-10-8-8 of these as well. Be sure to focus on your form, keep the amount of weights just right and maintain good posture.

One last exercise that is great for the shoulders are reverse pec decs. These should be done in sets of 4 with reps of 15-10-10-10. This is a great exercise for the rear shoulder and if you don’t have a pec dec machine available then you can always bent over side lateral raises. They will work just as well.

Remember to stretch, warm up and always consult with your doctor before starting any exercise or diet routine. The doctor will help to keep you in shape and let you know if you are over doing it or if you are right on track. Proper diet is also a very important key to any fitness program to have the right results.
