Quick Workout: Shoulders

I know that it is cold where most of you live so I thought I would share a workout that you can do without leaving the house to go to the gym. One of my friends gave me this workout, and I would like to share it with you all. He has a blog so check him out him you get a moment, especially if you like football.

This can be done quickly/slowly with heavy weights, light weights, or bands.

In this exercise you will basically superset 2 exercises. A superset is two or more exercises in a row, then a rest break.

Front arm raises immediately followed by side arm extensions.

2 full sets of 10 or 3 full sets of 8 (depending on heavy/light).

1 set (10 reps or 8 reps) of front arm raises + 1 set (10 reps or 8 reps) of side arm extensions, then rest. All of this equals one full set.

Front Arm Raises

Side Arm Extensions

Rest for no longer than 5 minutes after the above superset then

Upright Row

2 sets of 10 or 3 sets of 8 (depending on heavy/light)

Try to bring bar, hand weights, or bands just under your chin.

This will complete the quick shoulder workout.

An Alternative

The slightly longer workout is essentially the same as above except we will break each exercise into its own routine.

Front Arm Raises

2 or 3 sets of 16 per arm (depending on heavy/light)

In this workout you will do one arm at a time alternating arms. Do 8 with palms facing towards you and then 8 with them facing away from you and this will complete one set.

Side Arm Extensions

Do 2 sets of 10 or 3 sets of 8 (depending on heavy/light). Do both arms at the same time.

Upright Row

Do 2 sets of 10 or 3 sets of 8 (depending on heavy/light). Do both arms at the same time.

Both of these are relatively quick but the 2nd one is more isolation work. If you go heavier you will need more rest, thus resulting in more time.

I hope that you all will find this work out to be beneficial for you when you are “strapped” for time.
