Dumbbell Lateral Raise

Description

Lateral Raises is an exercise that targets the shoulder muscles, especially the lateral deltoids. To perform this exercise, you need a pair of dumbbells and a standing position. Here are the steps:

  1. Hold a dumbbell in each hand, with your palms facing your body and your arms hanging by your sides.
  2. Keep your back straight, your chest up and your shoulders down.
  3. Slowly lift the dumbbells out to the sides until they are parallel to the floor, forming a T shape with your body. Do not bend your elbows or shrug your shoulders.
  4. Pause for a second at the top of the movement, then lower the dumbbells back to the starting position with control.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions or time.
