In the hunt for sexy shoulders, variety is key. The shoulders are actually comprised of three muscle groups — the anterior (front), posterial (back) and medial (side). So in order to train these muscles effectively, you need to perform exercises that target each specific area. With the following five exercises, shapely, sculpted arms are just weeks away. PLEASE NOTE: You’ll need InterActive Exercise equipment to perform some of these exercises.
