If you're eager to build a stronger upper body, your shoulders are a great place to start. Not only do strong shoulders look good but they also can enhance your performance across a range of activities from lifting weights at the gym, to swinging a tennis racquet, to throwing a ball. And this dumbbell workout builds strength and muscle in your shoulders in just five moves.
The exercises will vary in intensity so you may find yourself requiring more than one size of dumbbell to complete the full workout. If you're trying this workout out in a gym then you should be able to find a range of dumbbell sizes available to work with in the free weights section. On the other hand, owning a pair of the best adjustable dumbbells makes working out at home a lot more convenient and they save on space.
The workout is designed by online trainer Cindy Yu and instead of performing the exercises on a bench or standing up, Yu has based the exercises so that you are either sitting or kneeling on the floor. This helps to eliminate the use of your lower body during the exercises, meaning you can isolate your shoulder muscles better whilst working through the routine.
