Shoulder exercises promise to improve both your posture and strength - 5 to add to your next workout

A woman doing the best shoulder exercises for women in a gym.

If you're looking for shoulder exercises for women to build a strong upper body, you've come to the right place. When most people think about weight training, they might consider doing glute exercises, dumbbell exercises or kettlebell exercises, but moves to work your shoulders aren't as frequently talked about. 

Your shoulders are used in every upper body movement. When you reach up to the cupboard for a bowl for your breakfast or extend your arm out to reach your water on your desk, fun fact: you're using your shoulders. Not to mention when we carry heavy bags, pull suitcases and lift weights. Essentially, you need strong and mobile shoulders to help you move effectively.
