Loved it! Shoulders are burning in places they have never burned before 😄👍🏾

Great exercises! Really looking forward to improving my shoulder because of my pole dancing practice.

This workout is designed to challenge the important stabilizing muscles of the shoulder joint and shoulder blade.

Training these muscles will help reduce the risk of suffering a rotator cuff tear or shoulder dislocation and will promote optimal shoulder function.

Lay on your side with a towel rolled under your elbow. While keeping your elbow at a 90 degree angle, rotate your shoulder outward as far as possible. Slowly, return to the start position. Repeat on the other side.

This is one of the most important exercises for the rotator cuff muscles.

Sidelying External Rotation

While holding dumbbells, lift the arms out in the shape of a ‘V’ to shoulder level.

This exercise targets an important shoulder stabilizer, the supraspinatus muscle.

Shoulder Scaption

Bend at the waist and raise your arms out the side as if making a ‘T’ with your arms.

Squeeze the muscles between your shoulder blades while completing this movement.

Horizontal Abduction

While holding a kettlebell upside down, press straight overhead. Perform on both sides.

The upside down kettlebell position forces the shoulder stabilizer muscles to work harder. If you do not have a kettlebell, a dumbbell can be used instead.

Bottom-Up Kettlebell Press

While in a push-up position, keep your elbows straight and move up and down by moving your shoulder blades only.

This one can be tricky to learn, but is extremely effective in terms of strengthening the serratus anterior muscle, which stabilizes the shoulder blade.

Scapular Push-up

While in a push-up position, alternate touching one hand to the opposite shoulder.

This exercise will activate and strengthen the muscles that stabilize the shoulder joint.

One repetition includes a tap on each shoulder.

Shoulder Taps

Wrap a resistance band around the wrists and reach out as shown in the video.

This exercise targets the shoulder stabilizers, including the rotator cuff muscles.

One set includes one pass through all of the directions with both arms.

I have not tried yet but when I went to the physio he made me do 3 of those exercises and they were helpful for my shoulder. Therefore, I think the other exercises you posted are useful as well
