One-Arm Dumbbell Lateral Raise.

Make every rep count.

1. 01

   Stand tall with your core braced and shoulders down and back. Hold one dumbbell at your side with a neutral grip (palm facing in). Keep a soft bend in the working elbow.

2. 02

   With control, lift your arm out to the side until the dumbbell reaches about shoulder height. Don’t swing—let your shoulder do the work.

3. 03

   Pause briefly at the top, keeping your wrist straight and shoulder relaxed (avoid shrugging).

4. 04

   Lower slowly back to your side to the start position.

5. 05

   Complete your reps, then switch arms.
