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.

Shoulders are not often an area that people think to focus on when it comes to sculpting their bodies, but shoulders are worth more than they’re given credit for. If strong, toned arms are what you’re after, it’s time to focus on those shoulders! Strengthening those muscles and joints can also improve your posture, so give these exercises a try. 

Lateral Raise

  1. Stand with your knees slightly bent and your feet staggered. Place the right foot forward and flat on the floor, with the left foot back.
  2. Loop a resistance band underneath the arch of the right foot, grasping it with your hands and keeping your arms at your sides.
  3. Raise your arms out wide until they are parallel to the floor and then slowly lower them to the original position. Perform 12 reps.

Extension Plank

  1. Start in a high plank with your shoulders over your wrists.
  2. Keeping your palms planted and arms straight, step back as far as you can while maintaining control and keeping your hips level.
  3. Bring your shoulders behind your hands and lower your body toward the floor.
  4. After having done that, reverse the movement and return to the starting position. This counts as one rep — do 10.

Halo

  1. Kneel on the floor with your knees slightly wider apart than your hips. 
  2. Hold a dumbbell in both hands directly in front of your chest, with you my elbows pointing down at the sides.
  3. Keep both arms bent and slowly circle the dumbbell around your head and back in front of your chest. Spin it round the other way to complete a rep and perform 8 of each.

Even professional trainers mix up a chin-up and a pull-up when talking about these upper-body exercises. But did you know that they’re actually two different exercises, working on different parts of your body?

The Difference

A chin-up is a variation of pull-up but, the hand position is different. When doing a chin-up, your palms face you. In a pull-up, they face away from you. The space between your hands is different between the two exercises—in chin-ups, your arms are held in a narrower grip and in pull-ups, your arms are wider than shoulder-width.

The Benefits

There are many benefits for both of these exercises. Biceps are being strengthened in both but get more focus when doing a chin-up. Pull-ups are actually much more challenging on the back than chin-ups. Your posture and grip strength are improved, and they sculpt your muscles like no other back or arm exercise.

Pull-Ups

Hold on to the bar with your arms straight and palms facing away from you. Engage the lats by drawing them down towards your hips. Hold your core and then pull up to get your chest to the bar.

Chin-Up

Start by hanging from the bar, with your arms straight and palms facing you. Tuck the chin so it doesn’t jut out over the bar. Engage the lats and core and start to pull up—you’ll feel the biceps more at the end of this movement. Straighten down to the start position and do as many as you can.

Strong arms never go out of fashion. Think Michelle Obama and Jennifer Lopez—we all want what they have. It takes just 15 minutes of focused arm exercises to stay toned and strong. All you need are some dumbbells and a yoga mat and you’re set. These exercises can be incorporated into your full body workouts, or you can dedicate one workout a week to your upper body.

Bicep Curls

Standing with your feet hip width apart, take a dumbbell in each hand. Without moving the upper arms, bend the elbows and bring the weights towards the shoulders. Lower back to starting point with control and do 11 more reps.

Alternating Bent Over Row

With dumbbells or kettlebells, stand feet hip-width apart and your palms facing each other. Hinge the hips backwards and bring the upper body parallel to the floor. Contracting the core, bend the left elbow back, bringing the hand in line with your ribs, lower back to start position. Do 12 reps on each side.

Tricep Kickbacks

Start with feet apart and knees bent. Lean slightly forward with a dumbbell in each hand, elbows at 90 degrees by your sides. Press the dumbbells back and up, and as you straighten your arms, squeeze the triceps. Lower weights with control to start position. Do 12 reps.

For some people, Pilates can seem slow and boring and it doesn’t give you the same rush as an intensive HIIT or strength workout. With the pilates ring, you will start feeling a burn and seeing amazing results in your core and flexibility. The ring gives you resistance and makes your muscles work harder and you can even get a sweat on if you use it right. Here are four of the best pilates ring exercises for you to try.

Squat and Squeeze

Stand in a squat stance and take the pilates ring between your open palms and straighten your arms in front of your chest. Squat down and squeeze the ring between your palms, feeling the resistance in your chest. This exercise works on your legs, glutes, shoulders, and chest muscles.

Side Leg Lifts

For this exercise, you can either put your ankles inside the ring or balance on the outside. Inside will work the outside of the thighs and outside you will be working your inner thighs. Lie on your side, using one arm on the floor for balance, and lift both legs up and down. You will also feel it in your waist.

Bridges

Lie flat on your back with your knees bent and your feet on the floor, put the ring between your knees and squeeze it a little to keep it in place. Lift the glutes off the floor, vertebrae by vertebrae, squeeze the ring as you go up, and release as you go down. Make sure you are engaging the core throughout the entire movement.

The Pilates 100

This is a core finisher! Lie on your back with your legs straight in the air, put the ring between your ankles and lower your legs so you feel resistance in your core, but don’t curve your lower back. Lift your head, neck, and upper chest, and straighten your arms to the sides of your body. Pulsing the arms up and down in time to your breath, turning the palms upwards and downwards with the inhale and exhale. So five inhales and five exhales, 10 times and you have the pilates 100!
