Top 5 Shoulder Exercises

The shoulder (deltoid) is an important part of the body. It allows the body to lift the arms and control arm movement. It is made up of three parts:

- The anterior (front) deltoid serves to raise the arm upward in front of the body

- The medial (middle) deltoid raises the arm upward to the side

- The posterior (back) deltoid raises the arm upward behind the body.
