Bring The Sexy Back To Your Shoulders:

 

It’s that time of the year where we crave some summer heat. No more hats, scarfs, boots, or heavy clothes- thank goodness! So are you ready to sport your sleeveless tops and swimsuits?!

 

If this sounds appealing to you, focus your goals on developing your shoulder muscles for a sexy hourglass shape.

 

You can achieve this by simply developing the shoulder muscles to make the waistline appear smaller and more balanced with the lower body. Creating a broad, sleek, and defined look in your extremities creates the effect of having those ‘goddess-like’ proportions that you can confidently strut around. This Sexy Shoulder Workout is a follow up to a previous blog. Use both of these Sexy Shoulder workouts to get the most variety and results out of your body.

 

Shoulder Importance

Strength training the entire shoulder area not only creates a sexy look, but it is also very important as the shoulders help with the daily things you do, such as carrying your purse, lifting heavy bags or boxes, carrying children, lifting things overhead, and is involved in any athletic activity you may partake in.

 

Benefits of Developing Sexy Shoulders:

  • Strength in the shoulders prevents injury
  • Strong shoulders help with daily tasks & activities
  • Complements your wardrobe
  • Makes your waistline appear slimmer and more proportional to your body

 

So if you want that hourglass physique and divine deltoids for the summer heat, you need to rev up your workouts and focus on movements that will facilitate the change you’re looking for!
