"Ok, "Playground Fitness" continues with front deltoid. Don't forget, you have three sides to your shoulder. You have got to get all three. You're going to look kind of funny if you don't. Front deltoid—here is a tip about your front deltoid. It gets overworked. Why? Because when you do the push exercises, you work it. So when I did those push-ups, I was working it. When I did flies, I was working it. Do less exercises for front deltoid. Ok? Seriously, it's a tip. Do less. Having said that, let's do a double arm raise. Here's another really good tip. I love this. Ok, if you notice the way my hand hangs; my wrist naturally is in this position. It's not in this position. Why do people do front arm raises twisting their wrist? It puts more stress on the shoulder joint. Here's a little tip from Tina: Don't do it. Natural position is always better. Straight up, straight down. Ok. Not complicated. What do you think people do? They bend their arms. What are you working? Bicep. What do we want to work? Front deltoid. Come up, look straight ahead, notice that my wrist is in line with my shoulder. No higher, no swinging up. Ok? So here's your double. This is really simple. And then you can go to singles. And I can alternate, or I can take eight on one side. I do like this one. Don't swing, but I do like this. I go, "Ch, ch," for a little cardio. Ch, ch. And guess what else is working? My stomach. But I'm being very careful to not swing uncontrollably. Alright? Front deltoid work--don't do as much of it. You will injure your shoulder if you overwork the front deltoid."
