Exercise those Shoulders

This looks like something that is easy enough to do - can't wait to give it a try.

Single Arm Lateral Raises with Band

Starting PositionHold the left handle in your left hand. Place other side of resistance band on the floor and stand on it with feet hip-width apart. Stand tall with back straight, abs engaged, left arm at your side, palm facing inward, and right hand on your hip. 

ActionEXHALE: Keeping left arm straight, slowly lift your arm up to shoulder height. 

INHALE: Slowly return back down to the start position to complete one rep. 

Finish set on this side and then switch sides. 

Special InstructionsDo not lean back or to the sides as you lift your arm. Keep arm straight, but not locked. Keep wrist in line with the forearm-- not bent up or down. Make it easier: Stand closer to the handle on the floor to decrease resistance. Make it harder: Stand closer to the handle you’re holding to increase resistance. Stand with legs closer together for more core challenge.

Are you wondering "How does Magnesium Work"?

I have to say that I love our Magnesium product line. The peppermint magnesium lotion and the magnesium plus stick are two of my favorites!

We use it for so many things in our household alone:

•           David uses for this leg cramps and to help in preventing leg cramps
•           I use for hip and knee pain
•           I use for headaches  and stiff neck  (tech neck)
•           Acid Reflux 
•           Soaking in the tub with the magnesium dead sea salts (safe for jets)
•           LOVE, LOVE doing a Magnesium foot wrap -  my feet feel so good!

Here are some of the awesome benefits of magnesium!
