I had an episode of tendonitis in one shoulder recently. It was horribly debilitating, so I'm slowly working on building up strength. Thanks for the suggestions -- I'll try some of them if my PT says they are OK. - 9/9/2010   2:14:59 AM

I could definitely use some toning in my arms and shoulders! - 8/26/2010   11:27:28 AM

I have to be careful with shoulder exercises due to a shoulder that is prone to tendonitis. I keep going at it, bit by bit.

Getting rid of the arm sag now that I'm reducing is a new issue -- can't get urgent about it thought. It seems like it's going to take as long as it takes! - 8/21/2010   11:35:56 PM

YES I strength train every other day & I see big improvements in my arms & my back muscles!!
Oh I also own a Bowflex so that helps too. - 8/19/2010   3:09:51 PM

I am so glad to see these! I don't need sexy shoulders; I just need stronger ones. My snap, crackle, and pop when I exercise. These may help. Thanks! Pam - 8/19/2010   1:02:39 PM

Great information! I will be having knee surgery in the near future and have been working on my quads. Recently I talked with a friend who has had knee surgery and she says she wishes she had had stronger shoulders when recovering! I really like the ABC shoulder exercise. - 8/19/2010   10:05:34 AM

I'm excited to see these, I was just thinking I need more upper body workout that just the wall push ups I was doing. - 8/19/2010   8:23:57 AM

I love training my shoulders, I do Military Press with Barbell, Front and Lateral Raises and Bent Over Rows. - 8/19/2010   8:05:06 AM

For anyone having trouble with their shoulders, I suggest trying yoga. It helped me a lot. - 8/19/2010   3:57:07 AM

Thank you! This is just the info I was looking for. My shoulders and back need exercise and stretching. - 8/19/2010   12:05:37 AM

I bet this would be a good shoulder workout!

I just tried the ABC workout in the air without a medicine ball and I can feel the muscles working. I can only imagine how great it is with the medicine ball to add weight! - 8/18/2010   9:49:05 PM

Thanks for the tips, I will try them
- 8/18/2010   9:30:35 PM

Those ABC exercises look hard! - 8/18/2010   1:15:02 PM

Great Ideas Nancy.
I love the ABC Shoulder Exercise...Ive got to give that one a try. It looks challenging ! - 8/18/2010   12:48:12 PM

Great exercises for those of us who worry about "batwing" arms. LOL - 8/18/2010   12:38:17 PM

I injured my right shoulder several years ago tripping over my dog in the dark. Ever since, I've had some issues with it but have never seen a doctor. Since I became serious about exercising to lose weight, I started an upper body strength training routine that includes lateral raises and dumbbell shrugs. The exercises I'm already doing have really helped with my shoulder issues and I plan to add some of these as well. Adding to all this is the fact that my daughter is seeing a physical therapist for problems she is having with one of her shoulders. Between these exercises and the ones my daughter will be doing, I should have an excellent routine going pretty soon. - 8/18/2010   12:01:41 PM

I love arm and shoulder exercises. Firm upper arms take years off a person's appearance. I've just tried the rotator toners and can feel them working. Many thanks. - 8/18/2010   10:10:38 AM

I strength train regularly. My favorite shoulder exercises are inclined push ups and pull ups. I'm still working on doing a full unaided pull up. for now, I use an assisted pull up machine. I like shoulder presses too. - 8/18/2010   9:58:27 AM

I love working my shoulders, especially since I'll be wearing a halter-strap wedding gown in just 5 and a half weeks! I like the ABC Shoulders idea, but I don't own a medicine ball. I wonder if using a dumbbell would be just as good (even if it does mean more tightness in the forearm). - 8/18/2010   8:39:24 AM

I do wall pushups every day! - 8/18/2010   8:09:30 AM

I have a lot of trouble doing any kind of lateral raises, so I do them lying down. That protects my shoulders and gives them support. - 8/18/2010   8:05:30 AM

I learned first hand how important the shoulders are. 1. From watching my mother with problems, 2. I injured my shoulder recently pushing and pulling on a freezer, and I couldn't raise my arm. Talk about important things we take for granted. I was in pain just trying to pull my clothes up and down, off and on, and the bathroom was a big issue. - 8/18/2010   7:41:18 AM

I love love shoulder exercises so excited to see some new exercises here! Right now I'm doing mainly overhead presses and lat raises - 8/18/2010   6:02:00 AM

I like front and lateral raises and overhead press. - 8/18/2010   4:30:19 AM

I start wondering how tightly bad posture and/or untrained neck-and-shoulder muscles are connected to migraines. Thanks for the roundup! - 8/18/2010   12:54:51 AM

My arms and shoulders are something I am trying to work to get rid of the "bat wings"! Thanks for the tips! - 8/17/2010   11:39:03 PM
