Dumbbell Lateral Raises
Gym Exercise Card
Equipment
Dumbbell lateral raises target the shoulders, specifically the lateral deltoids, helping to build shoulder width and improve posture. By lifting dumbbells to the sides, this exercise isolates the shoulder muscles, enhancing their size and definition.
How to do it
- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand by your sides.
- Keep your elbows slightly bent and raise the dumbbells to shoulder height with a controlled motion.
- Pause at the top of the movement, keeping your core engaged and wrists steady.
- Lower the dumbbells back to starting position with control.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
