#2 Side Lateral Raise
Along with toning all the three heads of the deltoid muscles, the side lateral raise also activates the trapezoid muscles present in the upper back region.
Instructions:
Step 1: Stand straight with your feet placed shoulder-width apart. Secure the dumbbells in both the hands and place them on the side, parallel to the body. The palms should be facing the body in this position.
Step 2: With a straight torso, raise the dumbbells to the side with slightly bent elbows until they are in line with the shoulders. In this position, the dumbbells must be parallel to the floor.
Step 3: Hold for a moment and return to the initial position.
Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of repetitions.
Important tip: Always follow a proper form while performing this exercise. Do not use momentum to lower the weights as it could lead to a serious rotator cuff injury.
