Hi. I'm Grace Lazenby and welcome to Sexy Shoulders. Today, we're going to work the posterior deltoid. Okay, that's that muscle right in the back of your arm that you always want to get really tight and toned. So, I'm going to use a really light weight, only 2 to 3 pounds. So, you can come out down onto one knee, take that weight straight behind you and hold it in an isometric contraction. From here, all you're going to do is give me a tiny little lift, up and low, and up, and make sure that your shoulder stays really stable. So, this is working the whole backside of the arm and into the backside of the shoulder. Excellent. Two more and then we're going to add one small move. From here, you're going to go, up and in, and back and lower. So again, you want to keep the tension in the upper body the whole time, so you don't want to drop that weight to low. Excellent. And up, and back, and in. So, as you pull that weight back, you're getting that little bit muscle that connects the shoulder to the triceps. Good. Two more everybody. Excellent. This is your last one and relax. Good. Come on down. Let's change to the other side. Okay, same thing. Start with a nice steady lift, up and lower. Again, keep that shoulder really still. So, this is a little bit different and smaller muscle in the back of your shoulder. Good. Four more everybody, and four, lower, and three, lower, two. Good. From here, you're going to lift the weight up, in. So, as you bring that weight in, that's where you're working that smaller muscle group that's why I like to use really light weight on shoulders. The shoulders can be really delicate. Four more. Good. And three, excellent you guys. Two more, lift up. Good. Really keep it contracted. Last one, and relax. Beautiful! Come on up. You can take a nice quick stretch and remember, work the shoulders may be twice a week. You don't know what the upper body every single day. Keep the weights light. Nice job, and that was your sexy shoulder move of the day. We worked the posterior deltoid. I'm Grace Lazenby, and we'll see you soon.
