Shoulder Exercises

Lateral Raises - Bent Arm

Paige Waehner

1. Sit on a ball or chair holding weights in each hand, elbows bent at 90 degrees and abs contracted.
2. Keep the elbows bent, lift the arms out to the sides to shoulder level.
3. Lower back to start and repeat for 1-3 sets of 10-16 reps.

Tips

• Keep the back straight and the abs contracted throughout the movement.
• Keep the elbows at 90 degrees the entire time. At the top of the movement, think of pouring a pitcher of water and really contract the shoulders.
