Reverse Fly
As always, before beginning an exercise program you should consult with your physician and have someone experienced (like a personal trainer) there to help you with your technique the first couple of workouts.
The Reverse Fly is great for both the rear shoulder and the upper back. This exercise is not only good for helping develop the posterior deltoid (rear shoulder muscle), but it is also good for working the upper back muscles and assisting with good posture. It is very important not to start with weights that are too heavy; improper techniques and too heavy of weights could lead to hurting the lower back.
Technique:
Using light dumbbells, sit on the end of a bench with your legs extended, but slightly bent.
Lean over holding weights under your legs (Your upper body should almost be parallel to the floor and your head should be looking down the entire time.).
Raise your arms out to the side to shoulder height, keeping elbows in a fixed (slightly bent) position.
Return to starting position.
