The Straight Arm Front Deltoid Raise
The straight arm front deltoid raise can condition and improve the strength of your back. Start by standing straight, with your feet about a foot apart. Keep your knees slightly bent and your abs tight. Hold a couple of 2 lb. dumbbells over the tops of your legs. Keep your arms straight as you raise them up with the dumbbells until they are vertical and perpendicular with the floor. Now lower your arms again back to the original position.

The Rear Deltoid Raise
The rear deltoid raise can really tone up your shoulders and arms. Start the exercise by lying on your belly on a flat bench. Place a couple of 2 lb. dumbbells on the ground above your head. Squeeze your abs as you raise the dumbbells from the ground. Keep your arms straight as you raise them until they are parallel with the ground and in a straight line with your body. Now lower them until they are about 6 inches from the ground. Repeat the movement for 2 sets of 8 repetitions to start.
