How to do Leaning Side Lateral Raises

Shoulders & Traps Exercise Training Workout

Stand up next to a sturdy bar with a dumbbell in one hand feet close together holding the dumbbell beside you with your arm extended and hanging and your other arm holding onto the bar. Lean sideways so that if you let go with your arm holding the bar you would undoubtedly fall over. With head looking forward, back straight, abs tight, and feet planted, slowly bring the dumbbell up sideways in in an arc-like motion until it is level with your shoulders while keeping your arm fully extended throughout the motion. Hold it at the top for a brief moment to squeeze your deltoid at the top of the movement. Slowly bring the dumbbell down in that same arc-like motion until your arm is hanging down again.
