Want to bullet-proof your shoulders❓
Try these 3 exercises and if you are having shoulder pain schedule an appointment with a physical therapist for further evaluation.

1. Banded shoulder lifts
Place the band around your wrists, keep your elbows bent and shoulders down and back and lift arms, keeping the bend in your elbows

2. D2 Flexion
Step on a band with your opposite leg, starting position with arm near your pocket. Lift your arm across your body in a diagonal and keep thumb pointing up at top of the motion.

3. Dumbbell rotation
Find a long sitting position, bend one knee and place your elbow on your knee. Rotate your arm from fully upright to a 90 degree angle.
