Hi, I'm Kristie LaTray, fitness expert and trainer with Fit and Fabulous Training. Today, I'm going to show you how to workout your shoulder stabilizer muscles. Lets start with lateral raises. With a dumbbell in hand go ahead and lift your arms out to the sides. Hold your arms out at shoulder level. Hold your arms for about five seconds and slowly lower down. You can do front raises as well lifting your arms out in front of you. Holding for about five seconds and slowly lowering back down. Lateral raises you really get your stabilizer muscles involved when you're holding these exercises at shoulder level. Both lateral and front raises are excellent exercises for targeting the stabilizer muscles of the shoulders. The key is to hold your pose right at shoulder level for about five seconds. Another great exercise to work your shoulder stabilizer muscles are what I like to call shoulder burns. Start out with your arms reached out to the side. Hold your arms here. During the duration of this exercise your arms stay out. When we are holding ourselves in an isometric position we are working the stabilizer muscles. Now for variety here you can do circles, go in opposite directions. You can do big circles or small circles. You can bring your palms up and down, your arms stay stretched out. And then from here you can rotate your arms inward and outward. Do this as long as you can hold it, until your shoulders start to burn. These are exercises you can do to workout your shoulder stabilizer muscles. I'm Kristie LaTray, find me online at fitandfabuloustraining.com.
