The dumbbell lateral raise is an isolation exercise that is an absolute must for your deltoids. This exercise helps in building boulder like shoulders and increase shoulder mobility. If done in the right form, it will strengthen your core as well.

Instructions

Step 1: Pick a dumbbell in each hand and stand with them by your side in a shoulder wide stance with palms facing towards your body or inwards.

Step 2: Keep your upper body in an upright position and still. Now lift the dumbbells by raising the arms to the sides until they are at shoulder level.

Step 3: Pause for 1-2 seconds and then lower the weights back to the starting position. Focus on moving in a slow and controlled motion.

Important Tip: Avoid bending your arms throughout the movement for greater efficiency. Do 2 sets of 10 reps each. Pausing for 1-2 seconds helps in greater muscle enhancement.
