Dumbbell Lateral Raise

Target Muscles: Shoulders

Equipment: Dumbbell

Start: Stand holding a pair of dumbbells at your sides with an overhand grip, your elbows slightly bent. Bend slightly forward at the hips, keeping your lower back in its naturally arched position.

Finish: Raise your arms up and out to the side until they're parallel to the floor, keeping the same bend in your elbows. Pause, then slowly return to the starting position.
