One of my favorite exercises is the Dumbbell Side Lateral Raise. I love seeing my muscles flex with each lift. Your body does the movement via shoulder abduction and scapular rotation. The muscles at work are the middle deltoid and supraspinatus (shoulder), upper trapezius and rhomboids (shoulder girdle), and the brachialis and branchioradialis (elbow joint muscles).
Grasp dumbbells in front of thighs. Bend over at hips slightly with knees bent.
Here's how to do it:
Grasp dumbbells in front of thighs. Bend over at hips slightly with knees bent.
- With elbows slightly bent, raise upper arms to sides until elbows are shoulder height. Maintain elbows' height above or equal to wrists. Lower and repeat.
- Keeps your weight anywhere between (10 to 30 degree away from your body). Do not use the side of your body to create momentum.
