5 Effective Front Delt Exercises To Strengthen Your Deltoids

#4 Dumbbell Lateral Raise

The dumbbell lateral raise is a very effective exercise that targets the front and the medial deltoid muscles. Additionally, the exercise targets the upper back, traps and the core.

Instructions:

Step 1: Stand straight with feet planted shoulder-width apart. Hold dumbbells in both the hands with a pronated grip.

Step 2: Slowly lift your arms in an arc to the sides until the dumbbells are in line with the shoulders. Do not bend your elbows and ensure that the arms are parallel to the ground.

Step 3: Pause for a moment and return to the initial position.

Important tip: Rather than using free weights, you could perform this exercise with a cable machine.
