Shoulder Workout: Going for the Burn

By Emily Saunders

Life has been a bit hectic lately and in order to simplify workouts and also mix things up to keep my body guessing I have incorporated higher-rep days into my workouts.  I do this by choosing 3 exercises and completing 2-3 rounds of 30 reps using slightly lighter weights.  By no means should one choose super light weights, but instead choose a 15 rep max that then requires plenty of rest throughout each set.

I completed this workout last week and was nice and sore the next day.  While this is not a protocol that I use all the time, it is a great way to mix up your heavier lower rep weight training days. The below workout can be completed anywhere with a couple of sets of dumbbells.  Enjoy!!
