Exercise: Shoulder Flexion
Purpose: Helps strengthen shoulder muscles. (Required item: A set of 1 lb. hand weights.)
1. Sit in a sturdy armless chair. The back of the chair should support you comfortably. 2. Keep your feet firmly on floor in line with your shoulders. 3. Hold a set of hand weights (a recommended starting weight is 1lb. for each weight) straight down at your sides, with your palms facing inward. 4. Now, slowly raise both arms in front of you (keep your hands straight and rotate them so your palms face upward) to shoulder height. 5. Hold position for 1-2 seconds. 6. Slowly lower your arms to your sides. Pause for 5-10 seconds to rest. 7. Then, repeat the exercise about 10 additional times. 8. After a short rest period, do another set of 10 repetitions of this exercise. For more information go to www.parkinsonresearchfoundation.org
