Even if we cover our shoulders with clothes during most of the year: The next swimming season, the next summer is coming for sure. Good if we use the time and prepare for the beautiful days with a few simple shoulder exercises. Building sexy shoulders is usually not a problem for men. Not only do they often have a genetic advantage, but they also like to exercise their shoulders frequently - whether intentionally or as a side effect. Women usually neglect this important part of the body and focus mainly on abdomen, legs, buttocks. But beautiful arms and shoulders are not only sexy, but can also make our everyday life easier. Shoulder exercises not only bring more strength, but also improve our posture.
So, are you ready? Here are four exercises that will help you get nicer shoulders in just 6 minutes.
1. small arm circles
Stand relaxed but upright. Now spread your arms wide to the right and left of your body. Keep your elbows slightly bent and make sure your palms are facing up. Draw small circles in the air with your arms and change direction after about one minute. The important thing throughout the exercise is to focus on your muscles and work against an imaginary resistance.
2. large arm circles
In this exercise you proceed in exactly the same way as with the small arm circles. Only now you draw larger circles in the air. About one minute in one direction and one minute in the opposite direction. Stay focused on the muscles you want to train and you will slowly feel a burning sensation in your muscles. Be happy about it, because now the training effect begins.
3. arm wrestling
Bring your arms together in front of your body at chest level. Your palms are facing down. Now press your hands down until your fingertips are parallel to the floor. Make sure to keep your upper arms and elbows as still as possible. Please do not make any waving hand movements, but imagine that you are working against a resistance (e.g. water) and try to feel the tension.
4. chest press
Bring your arms together again at chest level in front of your torso. During this exercise, however, you must make sure that your elbows are permanently touching each other. Now raise your arms slightly upwards and back again for about 1 - 2 minutes.
That's it! If you do these exercises regularly, nothing will stand in the way of your shapely and sexy shoulders. If you want to increase the difficulty after some time, you can continue to work on your shoulders without weights and with simple tools. Use exercise bands or empty plastic drink bottles that you simply fill with water or sand, or a rolled-up towel as resistance. Perform these exercises while listening to your favorite music or use a short break at your workplace for this simple but very effective workout. There are no limits to your imagination.
