How to Perform Standing Lateral Raise
Stand upright holding a dumbbell in each hand at your sides with your palms facing your body. Keep your feet shoulder-width apart and your core engaged. With a slight bend in your elbows, raise the dumbbells out to the sides until your arms reach approximately shoulder height. Pause briefly at the top while squeezing your shoulders, then slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position with control.
