Rear Delt Raise Exercise
Essential Exercise
The rear delt raise will strengthen the muscles behind your shoulders so you won't slump, allowing you to breathe more deeply.
The rear delt raise is best done after shoulder-strengthening work.
How to perform The Rear Delt Raise Exercise:
- Sit on the edge of a chair or bench with a three to five pound weight in each hand, arms hanging at your sides and palms facing in.
- Lean forward until your chest is just above your thighs.
- Slowly raise the weights until they're parallel to the floor, then bring them back down.
- Do eight to ten repetitions.
