Shoulder workout
Today I am going to share with you how I do my shoulder workout. You could say it is a post for dummies 
I don’t know much about it and all I know is that it works for me. See my routine and try it out if you wish. I use a combination of weights, machines and dumb bells.
I begin with cardio equipment. I walk on the treadmill or use the exercycle.
Step 1 : Facing forwards, I lift up the bar with my hands lifting the outer handles ( 3 sets ) - light to heavy.
Step 2 : This is followed by a similar exercise but using the forward handles instead- heavy to light. This is a very tiring routine. I sweat buckets here
Step 3 : I face the padding and do three sets on this back machine.
Step 4 : 
Step 5: 
Sitting on the bench I lift the bar at the back using my shoulder muscles.
Step 6 : 
Step 7 : 
This is the shoulder shrug
Step 7 : 
After these shoulder workouts, I work on my triceps. But that is another post, another day.
I believe using this routine, I am utilizing all the shoulder muscles, deltoids, trapezius and rhomboids. I enjoy it too and I am happy with my progress. You may wonder what is the difference between barbells or dumbbells. When we are using dumbbells, we strengthen tiny muscle fibers that aren’t utilized when we are lifting a barbell. Do not do this same set of muscles every day. They need a rest.
I recommend caution if you haven’t done any exercise or workout for some time. Don’t be too ambitious. These things take time. Just be satisfied to feel more fit than usual. Be sure and see a doctor before starting this or any exercise routine if you have any medical problems.
Remember working out is meant to be fun. Enjoying the company of gym buddies and the adrenalin rush. If you feel very tired, cannot sleep well and lose your appetite, it could be your body is telling you that you are over-doing it. However no pain no gain. Expect to work hard to get a healthier and more fit body.
Remember there are short term , mid term and long term goals. Be patient. Enjoy yourselves at the gym, my dear readers. I enjoyed writing this post and sharing with you this part of my life. Grab your sneakers and head to the gym? 
Now you make me feel so bad!
Goodness, why? Gym is so fun. We go for makan after gym, go for foot massage after gym, talk kopi tiam talk in gym etc etc. Even discuss business and politics
Gym is not my cup of tea either, but I love to walk everyday… walk for miles if time permits.
Happy slimming!
it is a lot of work and time consuming. i love to take long walks too.
Glad to hear u r still at it. Hopefully u will stay with it for long term.
I have set Christmas this year as a target. I hope to be more fit by then
Just a piece of advice here. I think exercise step 6 which is called Upright Row should be avoided. This is because this exercise is very stressful to your shoulder joints, though it is good workout for your shoulders. If not careful, may cause injury.
yes, i noticed it after u pointed it out. i will b extra careful. myh gym buddies r all doing this so i got to follow but i will b more careful. they r big guys so no problem for them
So nice to be able to gym to exercise. I can only workout at home. Carry Laundry Basket : Weight Training for back. Hang Laundry : Stretching. Carry kids : Biceps training. Kah kah kah kah.! Anyway, Keep up the good work! Should always keep yourself healthy, your family depends on you.
perhaps yr housework is more of a workout than mine
