Push-Ups

 

Push-ups are a fundamental exercise targeting the chest, triceps, and shoulder areas. Begin in a plank position with your hands placed slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Lower your body until your chest almost touches the floor, then push back to the starting position. Keep your body in a straight line throughout the exercise, tightening your core and engaging your shoulder blades.

Renegade Rows

 

Renegade rows combine a plank with dumbbell rows to target the upper back and shoulders. Start in a plank position with hands gripping dumbbells. Row one dumbbell towards your ribcage, squeezing your shoulder blades together, then lower it back. Alternate sides, maintaining a stable plank posture.

Inverted Rows

 

Inverted rows help sculpt your upper back and shoulders. Position yourself under a secured bar, grip the bar with an overhand grip, and keep your body straight. Pull your chest toward the bar by squeezing your shoulder blades together, then lower back to the starting position.

Dumbbell Lateral Raises

 

Dumbbell lateral raises work the shoulders and upper back. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding dumbbells by your sides. Lift the weights out to the sides until they reach shoulder height, focusing on contracting the shoulder blades, then lower them slowly.

Shoulder Blade Squeezes

 

This exercise targets the muscles between the shoulder blades. Sit or stand with arms at your sides, and squeeze your shoulder blades together, holding for a few seconds before releasing. Repeat, focusing on the contraction of these muscles.

Face Pulls

 

Face pulls are excellent for strengthening the rear deltoids and upper back. Attach a rope to a high pulley, and with a slight bend in your knees, pull the rope towards your face while keeping elbows high. Focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together as you pull.

Scapular Push-Ups

 

Scapular push-ups enhance shoulder mobility and scapular stability. Assume a plank position, allowing your shoulder blades to collapse inward, and then press through your hands to push them apart. Keep arms straight and focus on the movement of your shoulder blades.

Reverse Flyes

 

Reverse flyes target the posterior shoulders and upper back. Bend slightly at the hips with a straight back, holding dumbbells in front. Raise the weights outward to shoulder height while contracting the shoulder blades. Lower them back with control.

Plank to Row

 

This dynamic exercise combines core stability with back strengthening. Begin in a plank position, hands on dumbbells. Row one weight at a time towards your hips, keeping your core tight and hips stable. Focus on activating the shoulder blades as you row.

High-Row

 

The high-row targets the upper back effectively. Use a cable machine or resistance band anchored above. Pull the handles or band towards your upper chest, keeping elbows high. Concentrate on pulling with the back muscles and squeezing the shoulder blades together.

How to Combine Exercises for Losing Shoulder Blades Fat

 

Push-Ups and Scapular Push-Ups

 

  • Combine Push-Ups with Scapular Push-Ups to enhance shoulder stability and activation. Start with a set of push-ups to engage the chest and triceps, then transition to scapular push-ups to focus on scapular movement, ensuring a full range of shoulder blade motion.

 

Renegade Rows and Plank to Row

 

  • Integrate Renegade Rows and Plank to Row for a comprehensive upper-back and core workout. Alternate between these exercises to balance dynamic row movements with static core engagement, maintaining a stable plank throughout.

 

Inverted Rows and High-Row

 

  • Pair Inverted Rows with High-Row to target the upper back from different angles. Move from inverted rows where you're working against your body weight, to high-rows with resistance, concentrating on the contraction of your upper back muscles.

 

Dumbbell Lateral Raises and Reverse Flyes

 

  • Combine Dumbbell Lateral Raises with Reverse Flyes to engage both the shoulders and upper back. Start with lateral raises to fatigue the shoulder muscles, then follow with reverse flyes to intensify the upper back and posterior shoulder focus.

 

Shoulder Blade Squeezes and Face Pulls

 

  • Integrate Shoulder Blade Squeezes with Face Pulls for optimal shoulder blade engagement. Perform shoulder blade squeezes to activate the scapular muscles, then transition to face pulls emphasizing the rear deltoids and back.

Got questions? We have answers.

Do your plans include prescriptions and medications?

Curex plans cover everything from reviewing your medical intake to providing prescription medications, with free shipping included. There are no extra or hidden charges. Prescriptions are issued only after a medical provider reviews your information to confirm that the medication is suitable for you. Our service includes continuous support and regular follow-ups to ensure your treatment stays on track.

Our clinicians may order labs and additional medications for you, which would not be covered by the plan but for which you can use your insurance.

Please note: Compounded medications are tailored to individual needs or used in case of shortages, but they are not FDA-approved for safety or effectiveness. A prescription is required. Results may vary from person to person.

What medications do your providers prescribe?

We prioritize a personalized approach to your health. If your medical provider prescribes medication, options may include GLP-1 treatments such as compounded semaglutide (the active ingredient in Wegovy®* and Ozempic®*). Our providers prescribe only combination treatments not available at your local pharmacy that may include vitamin B12, etc. to help you achieve your goals faster.

Depending on your treatment goals, other medications such as metformin may also be considered. We recognize the importance of managing side effects, so your care plan might include medication to ease symptoms like nausea. Your well-being is always our top priority!

Please note that compounded medications are customized to meet individual patient needs and are not FDA-approved for safety or effectiveness. A prescription is necessary. Results may vary from person to person.

Curex and its pharmacy partners do not have any association with Novo Nordisk.

Will I be prescribed semaglutide if I sign up?

Your health journey is unique, and we tailor our care to match. Any prescriptions, including semaglutide, will be based on the expert assessment of the medical provider matched with you through our platform. You can trust that your treatment plan will be personalized to fit your specific needs. And if semaglutide is not prescribed, we will provide a full refund.

What is compounded medication?

Compounding involves creating customized medications to meet the specific needs of individual patients. For instance, a patient may require a liquid version of a medication that is only available in tablet form. Pharmacies can also compound medications using FDA-approved drugs that are on the FDA’s shortage list.

These compounded medications are made by state-licensed pharmacies that follow both federal and state regulations, including quality standards. However, when compounded in accordance with these laws, these medications are not subject to FDA approval and are not evaluated for safety or effectiveness.

Is compounded medication the same as generic medication?

Compounded medications differ from generic drugs. Generics require FDA approval by demonstrating bio-equivalence to the brand-name drug. In contrast, compounded medications are not FDA-approved. They are made based on a personalized prescription that may not be commercially available elsewhere or when a drug appears on the FDA’s shortage list. Compounding pharmacies must have the proper licensed facilities and comply with state and federal regulations before dispensing these medications.

Is insurance required?

No, Curex doesn’t require insurance. We offer clear and simple pricing, along with affordable medication options, making it easy and accessible to take care of your health.

Can I pay with an FSA or HSA card?

Yes! You can pay with your HSA or FSA card.

How much does treatment cost?

Semaglutide is priced at $149 for your first month, and $299 per month thereafter. This includes unlimited messaging with your medical provider, access to compounded medication at any dosage (if prescribed), and a user-friendly portal where you can manage your care plan and track your progress.

These prices do not include sales, promotions, or special offers.

Can you prescribe Ozempic®* or Wegovy®*?

Our providers focus on personalized medications and dosages that aren’t commercially available at your local pharmacy. While we don’t prescribe Ozempic®* or Wegovy®* directly, we may prescribe treatments containing the same active ingredient. These medications are specially compounded for you by a licensed pharmacy to meet your specific needs.

Are video visits with a provider required?

Our providers will review your information 100% online. Depending on where you live and the specifics of your medical history, our providers may require you to have a video visit or asynchronous visit via text message. If prescribed, you’ll get unlimited online access to message your provider as needed for follow-ups, adjustments, and answers to your questions.
