When I'm unable to make it to the gym or I'm away from my favorite pair of dumbbells, it takes a little know-how to keep my shoulders strong and mobile. At these times, such as on vacation, I'll often turn to six bodyweight shoulder exercises that can be done anytime, anywhere—and so should you.
You can combine them into a shoulder-focused upper-body workout, which I've detailed below, or pick and choose based on your experience and ability. To help, I've noted which muscles each exercise will work, plus included a difficulty level from beginner (1-3) to intermediate (4-7) and superhuman (8-10).
