Strengthen your Shoulders
Our new 5-minute shoulder workout will strengthen muscles that are important for any upper body movement including pushing, pulling, or lifting things overhead. These exercises can be seated or standing. They are perfect for seniors or beginners.
Aim for 10 reps of each exercise. You can do this workout with or without weights.
Side and front raises
Overhead shoulder presses
External and internal rotation
Arm circles (count of 10 forward and back)
Reminder: The CDC recommends doing two strength training sessions a week that build muscle overall. You could do two sessions that include both upper and lower body exercises or upper body work one day and lower body on the other. One suggestion: Do our entire 5-minute workout series (including the Shoulder Workout) that will provide a 25-minute workout.
These sessions are in addition to the recommended 150 minutes of cardio work a week, which includes any activity that gets your heart rate up. This can include our cardio and walking workouts and housework such as vacuuming, sweeping, or raking.
