Anterior Deltoid or Deltoid Muscle Anatomy and Overview
The anterior deltoid assists the pectoralis major during shoulder transverse flexion (which means that you work the front of your shoulders when you push something).
Anterior Deltoid Function
The primary function of the anterior deltoid is for shoulder abduction. The deltoids other functions are shoulder flexion, transverse flexion and internal rotation.
Anterior Deltoid Origin
The origin of the anterior deltoid is the clavicle ( anterior lateral third).
Anterior Deltoid Insertion
The insertion of the anterior deltoid is onto the lateral side of the humerous (deltoid tuberosity).
Anterior Deltoid Training
Anterior deltoid training should be kept to a minimum if it is followed by chest the following day.

Medial Deltoid or Deltoid Muscle Anatomy and Overview
Working on the lateral and the posterior deltoid (shoulder) give the rounded look that most fitness exercisers desire.
Medial Deltoid Function
The function of the lateral deltoid is for shoulder abduction, flexion and transverse abduction.
Medial Deltoid Origin
The origin is onto the lateral side of the acromion on the scapula.
Medial Deltoid Insertion
The insertion is onto the lateral side of deltoid tuberosity on the humerus.
Medial Deltoid Training
Make sure to vary the exercises between cables and freeweights to train the deltoids properly.

Posterior Deltoid or Deltoid Muscle Anatomy and Overview
The posterior deltoid is the smallest of the deltoid muscles. It is also the most important muscle to help give you the 'rounded shoulder' look.
Posterior Deltoid Function
The function of the posterior deltoid/shoulder muscle is for shoulder extension, transverse extension, transverse abduction and external rotation.
Posterior Deltoid Origin
The origin of attaches onto the inferior edge (spine) on the scapula.
Posterior Deltoid Insertion
The posterior deltoid muscle inserts onto the deltoid tuberosity of the humerous.
Posterior Deltoid Training
There are not too many exercises to train the posterior deltoid. Make sure to switch between cables and free weights to change intensities on the muscle.
Deltoid Other/Similar Names
Other names for this muscle group or similar muscle groups referred to the 'Deltoid' are:
rear deltoid, shoulder, rounded shoulders, posterior deltoid, rear shoulderPosterior Deltoid Exercises

Basic Fitness Exercise Workout Plan Program Principles
By: Michael Carrera - Truestarhealth.com
Workout Plam Principle 1: Combine strength and cardio training as part of your circuit training program.
Both strength training and cardiovascular training offer different benefits. Training in approximately 65 to 85% of your maximum heart rate range improves the efficiency of heart and lungs and burns many calories. Strength training shapes and tones your body and revs-up your metabolism by increasing your lean muscle mass. Moving from one resistance training exercise to the next non-stop burns approximately 25% more calories than resistance training alone. Also, since our program is based on a timed sequence, beginner and intermediate are given a few seconds to gear up for the next exercise. Not only do you feel better and look better, but you burn more calories while you sleep!
Workout Plan Principle 2: Reversibility:
Use it or lose it.
The
principle of reversibility simply
states that if you don’t use
it, you will lose it. Unfortunately
the gains you fought so hard to
achieve will quickly be lost if
you stop exercising. Your metabolism
will return to pre-exercise levels,
your gains in strength and endurance
will diminish and even if you don’t
deviate from your nutrition plan,
you may find yourself regaining
some of the lost weight. Our bodies
are very plastic and love to adapt
to new and exciting experiences.
However, the adaptations must be
maintained. As a rule of thumb,
if you must cut back on the frequency
of workouts, bump up the intensity.
Exercise as hard as you can 1 to
2 days per week and if possible
complete a short 8-minute circuit
(one full set of all the exercises)
on another day. Even one full round
of the circuit can help you maintain
your level of fitness and keep you
motivated. You have worked so hard
to gain it, try not to lose it.
