The "W' is a good shoulder exercise that builds strengths in your rotator cuffs and deltoids. Doing the exercise on a Bosu Ball builds core strength and balance too. This exercise can be done with two feet or on one leg.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Pair of light dumbbells

Step 1

Stand on the blue side of a Bosu Ball with your feet hip-width apart. Hold your arms up slightly above your shoulders with a dumbbell in each hand. Bend your elbows and face your palms forward.
Step 2

Inhale and rotate your arms down as far as you can comfortably go.
Step 3

Hold this palms-down position for two seconds.
Step 4

Exhale and rotate your arms back up to the start position.
Step 5

Do 12 to 15 reps.

Tips & Warnings

Use light weights. The tendons in your shoulders can be easily overworked.
Do not try to rotate farther than your comfortable capacity. You could hurt yourself.
