For this week’s Fitness Focus Friday, NETA Ambassador and Certified Group Exercise Instructor Hayley Hapach is sharing a weighted upper body shoulder strength sequence with us she uses to maintain good posture, improve stability, and perform everyday activities with greater control.

The movement sequence (Grab some light dumbbells!):

L-Raises:
A dynamic variation, where one arm lifts straight out to the front while the other lifts to the side, forming an “L” shape at the top. Alternating sides challenges your coordination and forces your core to stabilize against asymmetrical weight.

Overhead Press:
The overhead press develops shoulder and upper-body strength while challenging your core to stabilize your body. Keep your ribs controlled and press with intention.

Bent-Arm Lateral Raises:
By keeping a fixed 90-degree bend at your elbows as you lift your upper arms to shoulder height, you shorten the lever arm. This takes stress off your joints, and allows you to isolate the side deltoids with precision and control.

Overhead Arm Circles:
Don’t underestimate the burn! Small, but controlled circles create plenty of time under tension and are a great way to build shoulder stability and dynamic endurance.

Scaption Raises:
Lifting at a 30-degree forward angle in a natural “V” shape, this subtle angle keeps your shoulders in their natural movement plane. Which makes this movement a safe, joint-friendly way to target both the front and side deltoids.
