SHOULDER STRENGTH

TARGETED MUSCLES: SHOULDER/ROTATOR CUFF

To perform isometric shoulder abduction exercises, stand about six inches from a wall, but turn your body so it is perpendicular to the wall. The shoulder you wish to exercise should be close to the wall.
Make a fist and press it into the wall.

You may wish to use a folded up towel for a little extra comfort.

Gently press into the wall as if you are trying to lift your arm out to the side, and hold it there.

Hold..Hold..Hold for ten seconds.

Slowly release pressure on the wall. Again, no need to push the wall over; gentle pressure will do.
Repeat the exercise 3 sets, 10 second hold.
