Dumbbell Shrugs - Tension Buster

Are you starting to feel the stress of the upcoming Holiday. Preparations and shopping. I don't know about you guys, but with Thanksgiving over, the rush is on and I feel like dropping at the end of the day. And what always gets put to the back burner, exercise. The funny thing is exercise is a great way to relieve stress and energize.

Here is something I like to do before I hop on the Treadclimber. They are really quick and just seem to ease tension.

Dumbbell Shrugs

Beginners use hand weights of 1-2 lbs
Intermediate use weights of 3 lbs
Advanced use weights of 5 lbs

Repeat 10 times

Don't rush and make sure movements are smooth
Stand tall with feet hip-width apart, arms at your sides, weights in your hands, and palms facing your thighs. Shrug your shoulders up, and then down and back. Return to starting position.

It doesn't get any easier than that!
