]]> If you’re looking to get into shape and feel strong, then shoulders are an essential muscle group to exercise. Here are some of the best exercises that you can do to develop sculpted shoulders to make you look and feel good.

Upright Row

Holding either resistance bands, kettlebells, or dumbbells, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Pull the weights or bands up as you bend your elbows outwards. Complete 10 reps using a weight that is manageable for you.

Halo

Hold a dumbbell on its side in front of your chest. With bent elbows, rotate the dumbbell past the left side of your head and bring it around the other side before going back in the opposite direction.

Reverse Plank

Begin by sitting with your legs straight out and your arms at your side. Lift your body up with your arms, extend your legs, and maintain a straight body as you hold your position. Add some knee drives for a more challenging workout.

]]> Did you wake up with shoulder pain this morning? Perhaps you’re experiencing stiffness after overexerting yourself in your latest shoulder workout? Regardless of what happened, these shoulder exercises may provide you with some much-needed relief.

Chest Stretch

Kneel on the ground and place both of your hands behind your back. Intertwine your fingers and stick your chest out until your shoulder blades touch each other. Then, lift your hands and tilt your neck upwards before lowering back down. This exercise provides both chest and shoulder relief.

Seated Twist

Sit down with your legs crossed. Then, lift your right leg over your left leg and place your foot on the floor next to your left hip. Twist your body to the right and hold the position for a few seconds before straightening up. Then do the same on the opposite side.

Lying Arm Circles

Lay down on a foam roller, or if this is too difficult, lie flat on a yoga mat. Place your arms by your side. Make sure to engage your hips and core, keeping them stationary, as you lift your arms up straight until they are directly over your head. From there, circle them around until they are back in their starting position.

]]> Strong shoulders are crucial to an effective, overall strong body. They help reinforce your core, invigorate your arms, and keep your head firmly supported as well. But what are the most effective exercises for strengthening your shoulders?

Overhead Shoulder Press

Take a dumbbell or a weight in each hand and lift up above the head, hold for five seconds, and then gently lower the arms back to the standing rest position. Repeat five times. This will strengthen your shoulders along with the lower back and legs.

Butterfly Peck Raise

Standing with a weight in each hand, lift your arms up by your sides, keeping them straight. Repeat ten times for a set. This works out your shoulders in connection with the chest and abs.

Seated Shoulder Press

This is the same as the previous shoulder press, but this time you’ll be sitting down. Lift the dumbbell or weights up above your head, keeping your arms straight. The seated shoulder press works more exclusively on the shoulders since it doesn’t use the back so much.

An easy bodyweight exercise for the shoulders is the wide press up. This is like an ordinary press up, but set your hands wide apart so that they are past each shoulder. This will focus more on the shoulders, chest, and neck muscles.

]]> Do you find that shoulder pain is limiting your workouts? The good news is that you don’t have to stop working out if your shoulders are bothering you—there are ways to adjust exercises to work around the pain and to still get a great upper-body workout. Here are some tips for staying active while working around the pain.

Avoid Pressing Overhead

Overhead pressing movements can make things worse, so avoid the overhead dumbbell press, barbell military press, or resistance band overhead presses. Instead, try an incline dumbbell bench press.

Avoid Pushing, Instead Pull

Constantly doing pushing exercises like bench presses and push-ups can cause an inbalance in your shoulders. Instead try pulling exercises like TRX rows, lat pulldowns, and band-assisted chin-ups.

Keep Moving

When you feel pain, stop doing that exercise and try other movements until you find something that doesn’t hurt. If you find that pressing or pulling movements hurt, try doing exercises in the opposite direction. Like if the bench press hurts, try rows and if the overhead press hurts, try pulldowns.

]]> In addition to fit and strong legs, your back health is essential for the quality of your running. Adding a few quick fixes will help you do your best. Each of your muscle groups impacts your performance, so pay attention to these tips if you want to see improvements.

Lower Back

The main purpose of this muscle group is to keep your body erect and to help you rotate slightly with each step as you run. You can fix your posture with back extensions. Perform this exercise by lying down, pressing your pelvis into the floor, and lifting your head, chest, shoulders, and arms.

Shoulders/Upper Back

If you want your upper body to stay relaxed, focus on keeping your shoulders strong. Doing basic and side planks on a regular basis will help you keep this muscle group strong and healthy.

Hips

The excess side-to-side motion could put a strain on your back, but proper hip movement can drive you forward and stabilize your landing. Leg lifts can help you strengthen this muscle group. You can also do kneeling hip flexor stretches by lunging, keeping your upper body straight, with front knee behind toes, pushing hips forward, and holding for 30 seconds.

]]> The computer era and the fast lifestyle often results in stiff neck and shoulder muscles. How to ease neck and shoulder tension, you might wonder? Check it out down below.

Acupuncture

If you aren’t afraid off needles, then acupuncture is the perfect form of alternative medicine for you. It is used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries, in which thin needles are used to stimulate certain points on your body.

Get a Massage

When is the perfect time for a massage? It is always the perfect time to treat yourself. Relax, deep-tissue or therapeutic massage, the choice is yours, as long as you de-stress yourself from your everyday problems and things that cause your neck and shoulder muscles to get stiff.

Have a Relaxing Salt Bath

Fill your bathtub and add Epsom salt which is amazing for muscle pain and reducing any chances of infection. Soak yourself for 10-15 minutes. However, you must keep your face out of the water to prevent over-heating.

Drink Celery Juice

Celery juice will help repair nerve damage, so join the trend! A cup of freshly squeezed juice will help reduce your neck and shoulder pain.

]]> Shoulder presses are one of the most important exercises to get right if you want to increase your upper body strength. It will build strong and lean shoulders and give you more strength to carry out other exercises such as; pull-ups, push-ups, and handstands. Making sure you have the basic technique correct is important and from this point, you can start trying out different variations to make your upper body workouts more interesting.

For the basic press, stand with a dumbbell in each hand at ear level, with your elbows bent at 90 degrees and palms facing forward. Straighten your arms and press the dumbbells straight up and then return to your start position. This press works on your shoulders, traps, triceps, and rotator cuff muscles. Here are a few variations for you to try.

Dumbbell Floor Seated Shoulder Press

Sit on the floor with your back straight, core engaged, and your legs out straight in front of you at 45 degrees. Place the dumbbells in both hands and positioned under your chin. Press upwards over your head and lock your elbows, without moving your posture. Return to start and repeat.

Dumbbell Thrusters

Stand hip-width apart and sit in a deep squat holding the dumbbells by your shoulder. Straighten your legs at the same time as pressing the weight up towards the ceiling. Keep your core engaged for this movement.

Single Arm Press

Hold a dumbbell in one hand in front of your shoulder with the elbow bent, thumb touching the shoulder, and the palm facing forward. Engage the core and press the weight up above the head. Return to start and swap sides.

One of the trickiest parts of designing a workout, finding the right amount of reps and sets. Essentially, if you’re hoping to get toned, aim for a weight you can lift six to 10 times, rather than doing sets of 20 or more. . . If you can’t get through at least six reps or so, you’re probably trying to lift too much whereas if you’re easily able to go for 10 or more, you’re lifting too little. Of course, it will depend on what lift you’re doing as well. Fiddle with your set/rep mix, and see how you feel post-workout. . Find out how to design a workout plan?

]]> How to get the famous, masculine-looking V-shape taper, with wide shoulders and the little waist? It isn’t that hard really. In reality, it all has to do with proportions.

When you make your waist smaller, you will immediately make your shoulders and lats more macular and wide by comparison. If you have narrow hips, you have a huge advantage in making your V taper more impressive.

However, if you have wider hips, you will have to work harder on developing the perfect V taper. The human body has a natural V taper, but when you are overweight it causes a pear shape where your waist budges out and goes up to narrow shoulders. Here are some tips on how to achieve your dreamy V taper.

Drop Your Body Fat

To get a really narrow, small waste, you have to drop your body fat to 6 or 8 percent. It will make your shoulders much wider by comparison.

Build Your Shoulders Wider

It is a really slow process comparing to losing body fat, and there are lists of great exercises that can be found out there.

Build Up Your Lats

For a perfect V taper, you must build up your lats as well. There are plenty of exercises that can help you build them up easily.

]]> Trying to build toned shoulders, but don’t have any equipment at home that could get you there?  Not a problem! There are tons of exercises out there that can help you look like a bodybuilder in the making without any weights or dumbbells. Here’s a few that proved to be very effective in the long run.

Push-Ups

Push-ups are one of those classic whole-body exercises you probably hated as a kid, but that doesn’t minimize their importance. They work your triceps and core at the same time but are still considered one of the basic shoulder exercises, because your arms are the ones doing most of the work.

Single Arm Plank

Regular planks rarely affect your shoulders, since they’re mainly core exercise, but same can’t be said about single arm version. Doing this exercise with one arm alone is much more demanding, but it’s a perfect way to get your shoulders into a great shape.

Pike Press

This is another exercise that can effectively train your back muscles and triceps which doesn’t require any equipment whatsoever. It’s done by basically making a V shape curve with your arms and feet by placing your hands on the ground in front of you. Once that’s done, you should slowly lower your body until you reach the floor with your head.

I literally lost my #pikepress for about the first eight months of this year. Not sure how, but one day, poof! And it was gone. Eight months! Sometimes a voice inside of me would say “let it go…you’re almost 50…forget this one”…and then the other voice inside of me would say “shut the &$@! up!!!!” From January to August, I continued to work the pike press with no success…every single day. Every. Single. Day. And what do you know? It came back. Never give up. Sometimes poses may take years or even decades to master. And they will come and go. But stay strong, stay constant, and stay in the game! You’re in it to win it, tortoise. All comes (or comes back) in good time. 💗 – – – – – – – – – #pikehandstand #pikepresshandstand #handstandpress #presshandstand #handstand_where_i_stand #handstand365 #handstandeveryday #handstandeverydamnday #yogahandstand #handstandpractice #handstand #handstands #practiceandalliscoming #losangelesyoga #layoga #igyogachallenge #septemberyogachallenge #bestyoga #yogaoftheday #mandukayoga #whstrong #mandukamat #nikewomen #nikewoman #veganstrong #shanameyerson #yogathletica #kickasana

Constantly doing pushing exercises like bench presses and push-ups can cause an inbalance in your shoulders. Instead try pulling exercises like TRX rows, lat pulldowns, and band-assisted chin-ups.

Keep Moving

When you feel pain, stop doing that exercise and try other movements until you find something that doesn’t hurt. If you find that pressing or pulling movements hurt, try doing exercises in the opposite direction. Like if the bench press hurts, try rows and if the overhead press hurts, try pulldowns.

]]> In addition to fit and strong legs, your back health is essential for the quality of your running. Adding a few quick fixes will help you do your best. Each of your muscle groups impacts your performance, so pay attention to these tips if you want to see improvements.

Lower Back

The main purpose of this muscle group is to keep your body erect and to help you rotate slightly with each step as you run. You can fix your posture with back extensions. Perform this exercise by lying down, pressing your pelvis into the floor, and lifting your head, chest, shoulders, and arms.

Shoulders/Upper Back

If you want your upper body to stay relaxed, focus on keeping your shoulders strong. Doing basic and side planks on a regular basis will help you keep this muscle group strong and healthy.

Hips

The excess side-to-side motion could put a strain on your back, but proper hip movement can drive you forward and stabilize your landing. Leg lifts can help you strengthen this muscle group. You can also do kneeling hip flexor stretches by lunging, keeping your upper body straight, with front knee behind toes, pushing hips forward, and holding for 30 seconds.

]]> The computer era and the fast lifestyle often results in stiff neck and shoulder muscles. How to ease neck and shoulder tension, you might wonder? Check it out down below.

Acupuncture

If you aren’t afraid off needles, then acupuncture is the perfect form of alternative medicine for you. It is used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries, in which thin needles are used to stimulate certain points on your body.

Get a Massage

When is the perfect time for a massage? It is always the perfect time to treat yourself. Relax, deep-tissue or therapeutic massage, the choice is yours, as long as you de-stress yourself from your everyday problems and things that cause your neck and shoulder muscles to get stiff.

Have a Relaxing Salt Bath

Fill your bathtub and add Epsom salt which is amazing for muscle pain and reducing any chances of infection. Soak yourself for 10-15 minutes. However, you must keep your face out of the water to prevent over-heating.

Drink Celery Juice

Celery juice will help repair nerve damage, so join the trend! A cup of freshly squeezed juice will help reduce your neck and shoulder pain.

Kto pamięta Brzechwe?😁😁😁 Na straganie w dzień targowy Takie słyszy się rozmowy: „Może pan się o mnie oprze, Pan tak więdnie, panie koprze”. „Cóż się dziwić, mój szczypiorku, Leżę tutaj już od wtorku!” Rzecze na to kalarepka: „Spójrz na rzepę – ta jest krzepka!” Groch po brzuszku rzepę klepie: „Jak tam, rzepo? Coraz lepiej?” „Dzięki, dzięki, panie grochu, Jakoś żyje się po trochu. Lecz pietruszka – z tą jest gorzej: Blada, chuda, spać nie może”. „A to feler” – Westchnął seler. Burak stroni od cebuli, A cebula doń się czuli: „Mój buraku, mój czerwony, Czybyś nie chciał takiej żony?” Burak tylko nos zatyka: „Niech no pani prędzej zmyka, Ja chcę żonę mieć buraczą, Bo przy pani wszyscy płaczą”. „A to feler” – Westchnął seler. Naraz słychać głos fasoli: „Gdzie się pani tu gramoli?!” „Nie bądź dla mnie taka wielka” – Odpowiada jej brukselka. „Widzieliście, jaka krewka!” – Zaperzyła się marchewka. „Niech rozsądzi nas kapusta!” „Co, kapusta?! Głowa pusta?!” A kapusta rzecze smutnie: „Moi drodzy, po co kłótnie, Po co wasze swary głupie, Wnet i tak zginiemy w zupie!” „A to feler” – Westchnął seler. #janbrzechwa#wiersz#nastraganie#seler#sokzselera#zielonysok#wyciskarkawolnoobrotowa#sokwyciskany#codziennierano#naczczo#detox#detoks#celery#celeryjuice#celerychallenge#hurom#huromh100#owoce#greenjuice#odmladzanienasurowo#zielonakrew

]]> Shoulder presses are one of the most important exercises to get right if you want to increase your upper body strength. It will build strong and lean shoulders and give you more strength to carry out other exercises such as; pull-ups, push-ups, and handstands. Making sure you have the basic technique correct is important and from this point, you can start trying out different variations to make your upper body workouts more interesting.

For the basic press, stand with a dumbbell in each hand at ear level, with your elbows bent at 90 degrees and palms facing forward. Straighten your arms and press the dumbbells straight up and then return to your start position. This press works on your shoulders, traps, triceps, and rotator cuff muscles. Here are a few variations for you to try.

Dumbbell Floor Seated Shoulder Press

Sit on the floor with your back straight, core engaged, and your legs out straight in front of you at 45 degrees. Place the dumbbells in both hands and positioned under your chin. Press upwards over your head and lock your elbows, without moving your posture. Return to start and repeat.

Dumbbell Thrusters

Stand hip-width apart and sit in a deep squat holding the dumbbells by your shoulder. Straighten your legs at the same time as pressing the weight up towards the ceiling. Keep your core engaged for this movement.

Single Arm Press

Hold a dumbbell in one hand in front of your shoulder with the elbow bent, thumb touching the shoulder, and the palm facing forward. Engage the core and press the weight up above the head. Return to start and swap sides.

One of the trickiest parts of designing a workout, finding the right amount of reps and sets. Essentially, if you’re hoping to get toned, aim for a weight you can lift six to 10 times, rather than doing sets of 20 or more. . . If you can’t get through at least six reps or so, you’re probably trying to lift too much whereas if you’re easily able to go for 10 or more, you’re lifting too little. Of course, it will depend on what lift you’re doing as well. Fiddle with your set/rep mix, and see how you feel post-workout. . Find out how to design a workout plan?

]]> How to get the famous, masculine-looking V-shape taper, with wide shoulders and the little waist? It isn’t that hard really. In reality, it all has to do with proportions.

When you make your waist smaller, you will immediately make your shoulders and lats more macular and wide by comparison. If you have narrow hips, you have a huge advantage in making your V taper more impressive.

However, if you have wider hips, you will have to work harder on developing the perfect V taper. The human body has a natural V taper, but when you are overweight it causes a pear shape where your waist budges out and goes up to narrow shoulders. Here are some tips on how to achieve your dreamy V taper.

Drop Your Body Fat

To get a really narrow, small waste, you have to drop your body fat to 6 or 8 percent. It will make your shoulders much wider by comparison.

Build Your Shoulders Wider

It is a really slow process comparing to losing body fat, and there are lists of great exercises that can be found out there.

Build Up Your Lats

For a perfect V taper, you must build up your lats as well. There are plenty of exercises that can help you build them up easily.

]]> Trying to build toned shoulders, but don’t have any equipment at home that could get you there?  Not a problem! There are tons of exercises out there that can help you look like a bodybuilder in the making without any weights or dumbbells. Here’s a few that proved to be very effective in the long run.

Push-Ups

Push-ups are one of those classic whole-body exercises you probably hated as a kid, but that doesn’t minimize their importance. They work your triceps and core at the same time but are still considered one of the basic shoulder exercises, because your arms are the ones doing most of the work.

Single Arm Plank

Regular planks rarely affect your shoulders, since they’re mainly core exercise, but same can’t be said about single arm version. Doing this exercise with one arm alone is much more demanding, but it’s a perfect way to get your shoulders into a great shape.

Pike Press

This is another exercise that can effectively train your back muscles and triceps which doesn’t require any equipment whatsoever. It’s done by basically making a V shape curve with your arms and feet by placing your hands on the ground in front of you. Once that’s done, you should slowly lower your body until you reach the floor with your head.

I literally lost my #pikepress for about the first eight months of this year. Not sure how, but one day, poof! And it was gone. Eight months! Sometimes a voice inside of me would say “let it go…you’re almost 50…forget this one”…and then the other voice inside of me would say “shut the &$@! up!!!!” From January to August, I continued to work the pike press with no success…every single day. Every. Single. Day. And what do you know? It came back. Never give up. Sometimes poses may take years or even decades to master. And they will come and go. But stay strong, stay constant, and stay in the game! You’re in it to win it, tortoise. All comes (or comes back) in good time. 💗 – – – – – – – – – #pikehandstand #pikepresshandstand #handstandpress #presshandstand #handstand_where_i_stand #handstand365 #handstandeveryday #handstandeverydamnday #yogahandstand #handstandpractice #handstand #handstands #practiceandalliscoming #losangelesyoga #layoga #igyogachallenge #septemberyogachallenge #bestyoga #yogaoftheday #mandukayoga #whstrong #mandukamat #nikewomen #nikewoman #veganstrong #shanameyerson #yogathletica #kickasana
