BEGINNER
Scaption
Scaption promotes healthy movement patterns, improves muscle function, and prevents injuries. It also strengthens your rotator cuff, which improves shoulder stability.
Instructions
- Stand straight with feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent. Hold a pair of dumbbells at your sides with your palms facing inward. This is your starting position.
- Tighten your core muscles and raise the dumbbells in front of your chest in a wide V. Squeeze your shoulder blades and hold. Then slowly lower the dumbbells to the starting position and repeat.
Tips
- Stop lifting when the dumbbells reach the top of your shoulders.
- Make sure you choose the correct weight for your skill level. A lighter weight is recommended for this exercise.
