Tubing Exercises: Shoulder Lateral Raises

Video Transcript

"This upper body tubing exercise is called the shoulder lateral raise. And what we're going to do is we're going to take the tubing and place it down on the floor. Place one foot over the tubing and make sure that the tubing is in the arch of the foot. And then just simply take one arm out to the side, lower down. Take the other arm out to the side and lower down. When you are performing this exercise, avoid locking out your elbows but try to keep your arms straight. So we call that keeping your elbows nice and soft. This movement is coming from the shoulders and we are working the medial deltoids so it's right in the middle of that shoulder. So we're going to have some great looking shoulders in those tank tops, especially when summer comes around. And make sure that when you are lifting you are exhaling as you lift, inhaling as you lower. Now if you want to make this a little bit more challenging go both arms at the same time. Remember only lift right to your shoulders, so you don't want to go any higher. Let's protect those shoulder joints. And that is the shoulder lateral raise using the tubing."
