Description

Lie on your back holding a weight in one hand. Extend your arm toward the ceiling, perpendicular to your shoulder, with your elbow straight. From this position, push the weight upward, lifting your shoulder blade and shoulder off the floor. Then slowly lower your shoulder back down and repeat the movement. Try to maintain a controlled rhythm: approximately two seconds to lift and two seconds to lower.
