A. Place your right knee on a chair, then lean over and place your right hand on the chair for balance. Keeping your left leg slightly bent and your back flat, let your left hand hang parallel to your knee.

B. Bring your left hand to your hip, squeezing the shoulder blade (leading with the elbow so it's close to your body). Slowly return to the starting position. Imagine that you are trying to get a mower started. After 8-12 repetitions, switch sides and repeat.

A. Lie on your back with knees bent and a pillow under your back and shoulders. Extend both arms straight up with palms facing in.

B. Slowly lower your arms out to the side, keeping your elbows slightly bent, until your elbows are just below your shoulders. Then, bring your arms back up to the starting position. Do this exercise 15 times. Once you improve, you can add more weight.
