How to Do a Lateral Shoulder Raise Exercise

Video Transcript

"Now, I'm going to show you another shoulder exercise. It's going to be a lateral raise. Variations of this exercise is, more traditional shoulder raises are done like that, but what I'm going to do is hold it from this angle-because if you do it here, your range of motion is restricted and you feel a little pinch right here. So, I'm going to go palms facing out. The range of motion is not restricted. The shoulder rotates more naturally. I'm going to come up and down. Breathe nomally. Once again knees are bent. Protect the lower back. Shoulders are back. Core nice and tight. You're here and down. Always keep a bend in your elbows to take the stress off your shoulder joints. Again, don't bounce. Don't swing. That's a sign your weight is too heavy. Up and down. And there's your lateral shoulder raise."
