How to perform it

  1. Relax your arms to your sides and raise your shoulders up toward your ears, then back down.

Muscles worked

The Shoulder Raise primarily targets your Shoulders, with support from your Lats. No equipment needed — train it anywhere.

Make it count toward your goal

Random sets rarely move the needle. In NYUS, the Shoulder Raise slots into a plan built for your goal — sets and reps set in the plan, logged in two taps, and folded into a weekly check-in that adjusts your calories, macros and step goal.
