Shoulder and Arm Workout With Weights

    Looking for ways to tone the shoulder and arms to wear that off the shoulder clothing or strapless dress. This is a great workout to grow and define the muscles that we’re eventually will always show…especially in the summer. I know I did for my wedding dress. I wore a strapless dress and workouts like these gave me confidence to wear it. So here is a great shouder and arm workout.

Warm-up the shouders using pressing and and joint rotation movements to prevent injury and stimulate the muscles. Follow with static stretches after performing warm-up motions. If you need a guide to warming-up, read this past post on stretching muscles.
