Multitasking Move: Shoulder Press Steppers

FitSugar — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 03:00:00 -0700

I love working my shoulders and my outer thighs, and this exercise targets both areas at the same time. You'll need a resistance band for this move, and if it's too easy with the band you're using, then you can make it more difficult by shortening the band and holding the rubber part below the handles.

To learn how to do this exercise then read more.

Hold either end of your resistance band and then stand directly on the middle of it with your feet together. Bend your elbows so your hands are next to your shoulders. This is the start position.
Now as you take a step to the right, straighten your arms so your hands are above your shoulders.
Then step your left foot in to meet your right and lower your hands back to your shoulders with control, coming back to the start position. Take a total of 10 steps to the right, and then 10 steps to the left. Repeat series two more times for a total of three sets.

Sometimes our weekends are busier than our weekdays, and you can only fit in a short workout. So here are three quick strength training exercises. All you need is 10 to 15 minutes and a resistance band. The first exercise targets your shoulders and upper back. When doing the second move, you'll be working your core, and you'll feel the second move in your backside. If you need more details about how to do each move, just click on the name of the exercise.
