Work Out at Home
Part IV: Shoulders and Core

Shoulders – side shoulder raise (using both "dumbbells")

  1. Grab two "dumbbells" and hold them down at your sides — feet should be shoulder-width apart.

  2. Keeping the knees slightly bent, slowly raise the dumbbells out to your sides until your arms are parallel with the ground (basically, you make a big "T" with your body).

  3. Slowly lower the dumbbells back down to your side.

Core exercise (abdominal muscles) – Skydivers  

  1. Start on your belly, facing down with arms and legs extended out to your sides.

  2. Squeeze your glutes (butt) and press your hips into the ground.

  3. Keeping your thumbs pointed toward the ceiling, slowly raise your arms and legs a few inches off of the ground and hold for 2 counts.

When you have completed the first shoulder and core exercises, take a small break, grab some water, and repeat the shoulder and core exercises 2 times.

You've probably got a great burn in those shoulders right now!
