Workout Wednesday – Get Your Sweat On Shoulder Workout

By April 30, 2014June 10th, 2016One Comment

Ladies…

Today we will get our “Sweat On” by working the entire delt muscles. We will be doing two separate shoulder exercises per circuit and then combing the two moves into one combo move. We will then follow the combo move with a cardio burst to really get your sweat on! Your shoulders will be burning after this workout!

Some quick tips to get you started:

* You may have to use lighter weights when doing the combo moves.

* Use full resistance on the eccentric movement by taking a full 4 seconds to bring your weight down. The muscle you are working will start to burn as you get closer to your 10th rep.

* Limit your rest between exercises to 10 seconds.

* Set-up your equipment before you start your workout.

* Do a 3-5 minute warm-up before you begin and be sure to include some shoulder muscles by doing forward and backward shoulder rolls, arm circles, forward punches, etc…

* This workout takes approximately 50 minutes with a warm-up and cool down and will burn around 350 calories.
