Slide 3 of 13

Alternating Shoulder Raise

Targets: Shoulders, thighs, and calves

Stand with feet hip-width apart, holding a 5- to 8-pound weight in each hand. Rise up onto the balls of both feet. Keeping your heels lifted, raise left arm out to the side to shoulder height and right arm to the front to shoulder height. Hold for 2 counts, return to starting position, and switch arms. Do 15 reps per side.

Too easy? Try this: Do this exercise on a stair or at the end of a step bench to challenge your balance. Each time you switch arm positions, do 1 calf raise.

Next: Warrior Lunge

slide 3 - the picture is not very good, she is in an anterior pelvic tilt and arching her back. She should be using her abs more to keep her lower spine in neutral.
