External Shoulder Rotation

This and the internal shoulder rotation are both exercises I think everyone should do. You’ll be strengthening the rotator cuff, which could help prevent injuries, including tendinitis, rotator cuff tears, and shoulder impingement syndrome. Pay attention to your form; the arm should remain at your side during the entire exercise. It shouldn’t lift away from your side.

Suggested sets and reps: 8-15 reps, 2-4 sets, 3 times per week.
