Side Rotational Circles

This is a good exercise for both the front and rear deltoid muscles and can be performed equally well either seated or standing.
Throughout the exercise, keep your arms straight at shoulder height, and simply make small rotational circles with your arms.

Begin with small circles (6 inches), increase in size (18 – 24 inches), working in both directions, focusing on keeping the movement smooth and slow.

You may decide to work with the arms directly out to your sides, or out to your front, or even to your rear in order to work all your shoulder muscles.
