4 Tips to Eat Healthier When Ordering Takeout or Food Delivery: When opting for takeout, make healthier choices by checking online for nutritional information, asking restaurant staff about dish preparation, and customizing your order.

50 Best Shoulder Exercises of All Time

Shoulder exercises offer numerous benefits beyond aesthetics, such as improving stability, reducing injury risk, and enhancing overall upper body strength. Here are some of the best shoulder exercises:

1. Arnold Press: This exercise targets all three deltoid heads—anterior, medial, and posterior. Perform by holding dumbbells at shoulder height, palms facing your chest, and pressing them upward while rotating your wrists so palms face away at the top. Lower the weights back to the start position.

2. 90-90 External Rotation: Ideal for strengthening the rotator cuffs, this exercise involves holding dumbbells at shoulder height with elbows bent at 90 degrees. Rotate your shoulders to lower the dumbbells forward until your forearms are parallel to the ground, then return to the starting position.

3. Farmer’s Walk: Excellent for building shoulder mass, this exercise requires holding the heaviest set of dumbbells you can manage, walking with shoulders pulled back and core braced. If space is limited, walk in a figure-eight pattern.

Incorporating these exercises into your routine can enhance shoulder stability, increase muscle mass, and improve overall upper body function.
