Great Arm Workouts For Women
Building those impressively sleek shoulders takes a great deal of raw grind but once
you sport a shapely set, you'll quickly be separated from the rest. If you like to wear bikinis or summer dresses that reveal your upper torso, shoulder training is ideal in sporting a sexy physique. So how should women workout their deltoids? Want to try a few exercises on for size that'll help your delts? Checkout the deltoid exercises below.
Alternating Dumbell Raises are a great arm workout for women. Standing straight with your feet shoulder-width apart, take a pair of dumbbells into your hands and hold them down at your sides. Make sure that the dumbbells are of a manageable weight. Bending your knees slightly, slowly raise one arm, twisting it so that your palm is facing down. Stop when your arm is straight out in front of you (at shoulder level) so that it forms a right angle with your torso. Squeeze your deltoid muscles before slowly bringing the weight back down to your side. Meanwhile, your opposite arm should be rising just as the other one drops. Repeat the alternating motion for 12-15 reps on each arm. Try 3 sets of this.
Lateral Raises are great if you want another beneficial deltoid workout, greared towards women. Put a D-handle on the lower hookup of the cable machine. Stand with your side to the cable. With your arm that's farthest away from the cable, take the handle into your hand, and hold it to the opposite hip. Slightly bend your torso away from the cable, shifting weight onto your furthest foot from the cable. Slowly raise the weight across your torso, your arm slightly bent while doing so. Stop when your arm is extended directly away from your shoulder. Squeeze your shoulder at the contraction before slowly releasing to the starting position. Repeat this motion for a total of 12-15 reps at a lighter weight before switching sides. For a great burn, do not take any rest between alternating sets.
A shoulder injury can be devastating to a deltoid workout, or any arm workout for that matter - especially considering the delts are used in virtually every other upper-body exercise. Your chest and back in particular can suffer from a nagging shoulder ailment, or worse, pulls or tears. Make sure to stretch properly before partaking in these strenuous shoulder workouts, as this can prevent some of the aforementioned misfortunes.
