#5 Bent-Over Low Pulley Lateral Raise
The bent-over low pulley lateral raise also tones the muscles in the shoulders and the upper back. Additionally, with its simple motion, even beginners and casual trainers could perform this exercise with relative ease.
Instructions:
Step 1: Select an appropriate weight and secure the attachment with the left hand. Slightly bend the knees and bow forward using your hips until the torso is parallel to the floor. The left arm should be hanging right below the left shoulder.
Step 2: With a stationary torso, gradually raise your left arm to the side until it is in line with the shoulders.
Step 3: Hold for a moment and return to the starting position.
Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of times. Perform the exercise with the other arm to tone the other set of deltoid muscles.
Important tip: Instead of a low pulley, one could even perform this exercise while holding a dumbbell or an elastic band.
