How to do the Side Lateral Raise

  1. 1

    Pick a couple of dumbbells and stand with a straight torso and the dumbbells by your side at arms length with the palms of the hand facing you. This will be your starting position.

  2. 2

    While maintaining the torso in a stationary position (no swinging), lift the dumbbells to your side with a slight bend on the elbow and the hands slightly tilted forward as if pouring water in a glass. Continue to go up until you arms are parallel to the floor. Exhale as you execute this movement and pause for a second at the top.

  3. 3

    Lower the dumbbells back down slowly to the starting position as you inhale.

  4. 4

    Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
