Lateral Raise

Movement notes

1. To begin, stand so that your arms are at arm's length. Grasp with a pronated (palms facing your thighs) grip that is slightly less than shoulder width. Your hands should be resting on the sides of your thighs. Your arms should be extended with a slight bend at the elbows and your back should be straight. This will be your starting position.
2. Use your side shoulders to lift your hands to the sides as you exhale. Continue to lift them until they are slightly above parallel. Tip: As you lift your hands, slightly tilt the hand as if you were pouring water and keep your arms extended. Also, keep your torso stationary and pause for a second at the top of the movement.
3. Lower your hands back down slowly to the starting position. Inhale as you perform this portion of the movement.
4. Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
