Sculpt your shoulders in 15 minutes with this five-move dumbbell workout

I feel like shoulders are really underrated for a number of reasons. Firstly, sculpted shoulders can enhance the silhouette of the body, making the waist appear smaller and the upper body wider. The other reason is that they're really important for good posture. If you’ve been neglecting yours, then this workout will sort you out. It'll help build muscle, takes less than 20 minutes and all you’ll need is a pair of dumbbells.

As previously mentioned, apart from aesthetics, incorporating shoulder exercises is key to maintaining and improving our body’s overall health and function. For starters, we use our shoulders for lots of everyday activities, such as picking things up to carrying things – if our shoulders are weak, the likelihood of injury will be higher compared to someone with stronger shoulders. They’re also vital for good posture (those who sit at a desk all day long with hunched over a computer will know this well). If your muscles around the shoulder joint are stronger, it will enable a sturdier posture, as well as arm movement.
