Dumbbell lateral raise
Lift very light weights out to the sides.
How to do it
- Stand with elbows softly bent and weights beside your thighs.
- Raise arms slightly forward of your sides, no higher than comfortable shoulder level.
- Lower gently without swinging.
Form check
Keep the shoulders from shrugging toward your ears.
Make it easier
Bend your elbows more or use no weights.
Move within a comfortable range and keep breathing. Stop if a movement causes pain or you feel unwell. Ask a qualified trainer for help with unfamiliar equipment.
