Standing Lateral Raise | Targets Outside head of the Deltoid, Front Deltoid, Rear Deltoid

• Leaning slightly forward with the dumbbells together in front of your body at arm’s length.
• Start each repetition from a dead stop.
• Lift the dumbbells out and up to the sides turning your wrists slightly forwards and downwards like pouring a drink.
• Lift the dumbbells slightly higher than shoulder height, then lower them slowly under control, resisting against gravity on the way down.
• Try to keep the body from rocking back and forth, so not to lose the effectiveness of the exercise.

To reduce the chance of cheating you can also do this exercise in the seated position.
