Four essential shoulder exercises for spring

Throwing season is upon us. So to help prevent rotator cuff injuries, implement the following exercises into your current exercise plan:

• Keep the weight light (2-4 lbs) and do one set of 10 repetitions with perfect form.
• Perform these exercises early in your workout. They are best done when you are not fatigued.
• Do these two to three times a week.
