Shoulders & Deltoids 20 Mar 2007 11:42 pm
March 21, 2007 (Posting #8) - Deltoid exercise: Side Raises
Let’s hit the shoulders today! This time we are going to work the sides of our deltoids with this exercise. I prefer to do this exercise sitting so that I focus on only my shoulders doing the work. When standing, I might be tempted to use my legs to help swing the weights up when I get tired. Also, sitting helps those who may have a history of lower back pain (like me). So, get your chair and get your weights. Hold your weights in each hand with your arms extended along the side of your body. Raise yours your arm outward until your arms are parallel to the floor. Control the weights on the way down so that your shoulders continue to do the work; don’t rely on gravity. Now, your excuse to not exercise is gone. DO SOMETHIN’!

Sup Mike,
thanks for checking out the site! Yep, lots of different items throughout one’s place can be used for exercising. I can remember doing bicep curls with gallons of water when I was in elementary school.
Take care.
