For women, the shoulder muscle is a sensitive part and needs to be applied appropriately to each separate area to achieve the goal of slimming and toning. Here are slim shoulder exercises for women that are perfect for gym or home workouts.
On average, the total length of the slim shoulder exercise for women is about 25 minutes. To start the exercise you need to prepare in advance: single dumbbells, dumbbells (Dumbbells) with moderate weight, resistance band (Resistance band) as exercise equipment.
1. Halo move
Step 1: Begin the movement by kneeling on the floor, knees wider than hips. Step 2: Two hands hold a dumbbell (1-3kg or depending on ability) placed in front of the chest, elbows to the sides. Step 3: Keeping your arms bent, slowly rotate the dumbbell around your head, back and out in front of your chest. One rotation counts as one practice. Rotate the set 10 times in each direction. Repeat 2 more times to reach 3 sets, rest only when needed, then move on to the next movement.
2. Banded Pull-Aparts
Step 1: Place your feet shoulder width apart, arms stretched out in front of your body. Step 2: Raise to shoulder height, hold the resistance band with both hands (palms face down towards the floor). Step 3: Grab the rope holding the center of gravity and pull to the sides. Release back to the original position and repeat. One pull and return counts as 1 time. Do it 10 times. Repeat 2 more times to reach 3 sets, rest only when needed, then move on to the next movement.
