Hello, I'm Kyle Brayer, and your next in-home shoulder workout will be the seated rear deltoid raise. We're working the posterior portion of the deltoid on this exercise so Karie's going to reach down and grab her 5 lb. dumbbells. This is a little bit heavier exercise so you want to pick a lighter weight, the resistance is going to feel much heavier so we still have the 5 lb. dumbbells, but you want to pick something lighter than you were doing the front and lateral raises with. Karie's going to lean her chest all the way down onto her thighs. So this will be her starting position except she's going to look up slightly, her palms are facing each other under her thighs and then she's going to come out to the sides, keeping her wrists in line with her shoulders. That's a perfect repetition, and down, and back up, and down. Then we're going to have her hold it at this top position for just a second so you can see she has a slight bend in her elbows which is allowing this wrist to be in line with her shoulder. If she were to bring this arm back she'd be working triceps, so we want to keep them in line. Back down, we'll do one more, up and back down. You can sit up, Karie. The portion where the dumbbells are coming up to the sides is a positive portion, so you want to be exhaling on a positive portion and inhaling during the easy part when those dumbbells come down. This is a seated rear delt raise.
