Shoulder Exercises for That One Shoulder Dress

I've got to say I've had a really rough day today at work. I stayed a little bit later than usual and headed straight to the gym and worked out like a maniac. While I was weight training hardcore at the gym, I thought about another trend for the season which is the one shoulder dress. Look at the picture of Jessica Biel (from Instyle.com). I am a big fan of hers for the simple fact that she is also a fitness fanatic - her body type so athletic and healthy! Also, in my opinion she has one of the best shoulders I've ever seen in Hollywood.Speaking of the one shoulder dress, it doesn't hurt to have great looking shoulders to show off when you have it on! Being a gym member of the NY Health and Racket Club one of my favorite body parts to work out is the shoulders..I AM OBSESSED! So I use the Smith Machine see the photo below from Shapefit.com. The exercise is a simple up and down motion - you do not need a spotter since the machine has a guided hook to hold the weights when you have reached failure.
A popular shoulder work out is the bent over lateral raise, great for beginners and advanced level depending on how heavy the weight you use. You can also do this exercise standing directly upright to target different parts of your shoulders. This can be done at home as well as the gym. (The photo is from Ivillage.com)

Now when in doubt, if you are unsure about your form or do not have any weights to use, you can use household items like canned goods. If that still is not good for you, do some push ups. You can even do them on your knees, the tip is to go slow and do them regularly. You will have toned shoulders and arms in no time!
