1. Alternate frontal deltoid lift
Works on: Front part of the shoulders

- While lowering your left arm, raise your right arm up to shoulder height. Continue alternately and make 8 to 12 repetitions of the complete right left cycle.
2. Deltoid lift – rotation
Works on: The front and sides of the shoulders, as well as the front and side abdominals.
- Stand with your feet parallel to your hips with only one dumbbell held in both hands. Reach down, hands and dumbbell in front of the left hip. Even the chirorpactor Boca advise tp bent the knees slightly while doing this exercise.
- Without arching the back, pressing on the tip of the left foot, turn your torso slightly to the right.
- Keep both arms straight while lifting them from the left hip to the top of the right shoulder? Hold the position for two seconds, keeping the abdominals contracted.
- Return slowly to the starting position. Do 5 to 10 repetitions, and then change sides.
3. Rower – modified
Works on: The front, sides, and back of the shoulders
- Stand with your feet parallel to your hips, your knees slightly bent, a dumbbell in each hand. Place your arms in front of your hips, palms inward. Do not lift or advance your shoulders during exercise. Raise your arms along your body, elbows pointing outward, palms still inward. Take a break when your arms are parallel to the ground.
- Next, swing arms and dumbbells up so your elbows are pointing down, your palms are facing forward, and the dumbbells are higher than your shoulders.

- Point the elbows again to the sides. Lower your arms to return to the starting position, your palms facing you. Repeat 8 to 12 times.
