Today’s 10-Minute Workout Quickie is all about sexy shoulders. Before you start, make sure to warm up by rolling your shoulders, lifting them up, and stretching a little bit. Our shoulders are prone to injuries, so we want to make sure we warm up to prevent any kind of damage.
You will need either small weights (I am using 2.5 lbs in the pictures) or you can also use water bottles or whatever you have handy that can function as a weight.
Repeat all exercises back to back for a total of 4 rounds.
