Happy Saturday! I’m starting a new series of my current weight routines to share. I truly believe every woman should step away from the cardio machines and get a pair of weights in her hands. It will sculpt your body and give you results 100 times faster than an elliptical can.

I was recently getting my hair cut and was chatting with my hairdresser about training and lifting. She said her favorite part to train used to be her legs, but now it’s her back. I enthusiastically responded with “Nice! My favorite to train is my shoulders!”…crickets. It may not be as common as leg day, but think about the hourglass shape every woman wants…hips, small waist, and…what’s the top of the hourglass? Building your shoulders will help create the illusion of a smaller waist and give you the “top of the hourglass”.

So here’s my current shoulder routine to build those delts! Side note: I had the brilliant idea of doing my normal Shoulder Day workout, then recording the footage for this video. I was already pretty gassed out, so no form police and no judging on the dropped weight.

6FT FIT SHOULDER WORKOUT

• Seated Military Press on Smith Machine (not pictured): 6×4 (the heavier the weight, the lower the reps, and I can usually only squeak out 6/set)
• Shoulder Press with Dumbbells: 8×4 (last set is a drop set)
• Lateral Shoulder Raise with Dumbbells: 10×4 (last set is a drop set)
• Plate Front Raises: 10×3
• Reverse Pec Dec: 8×4 (last set is a drop set)
• Cable Face-Pulls: 10×3

And remember to warm up your shoulders, and consistently mix in rotator cuff exercises as well!
