Lateral Raise

Sit comfortably a suitable sized Swiss Ball, so that your thighs are parallel to the floor, and your back is straight, head up.

START	FINISH	ONE ARM

Holding suitable dumbbells in each hand, smoothly lift the weights up from your side, to a horizontal position out to your sides, aiming to keep your arms straight, hands inline with your shoulders.

Focus on keeping the upper body fixed by keeping your abdominal muscles contracted throughout the movement to avoid leaning forward or back during the lifting or lowering phase.

You may also decide to adjust your wrist position so that palms are facing downwards or forwards, working both arms at the same time, or simply alternating arms.
