Push and Touch Exercise

Essential Exercise

Say hello to gorgeous shoulders and a defined upper back...

Back and Shoulder Muscles

How to perform The Push and Touch Exercise:

  • Stand with feet shoulder width apart, a 5 to 8 pound dumbbell in each hand, arms down by your sides with palms facing forward.
  • Bring your arms forward and up to shoulder height, so the backs of your upper arms are parallel to the floor. Pause, then in one smooth movement, raise your arms overhead and tap the ends of the weights together.
  • Slowly return arms to shoulder height, pause, then lower to starting position.
  • Do 3 sets of 6 to 8 reps.

Note:  As with all Training tip: Keep the rest of your body still when lifting your arms.
