I am still trying to stay motivated with my workouts from home. I love quick and efficient workouts that help tone and improve muscle definition. Today’s workout focuses on the shoulders using dumbbells. Use the arrow to scroll to the right on the Instagram post below to see a video showing each of the exercises mentioned.
Complete 4 sets of 12 reps for each exercise below. Rest for 30 seconds between each set and before moving to the next exercise.

- Stop the raise when you get to 90 degrees
- Maintain control throughout the entire movement

Around the World
