Leaning dumbbell lateral raises

How to do it

1. 1 Stand side-on next to a sturdy post or rack with your feet close to it, holding a dumbbell in your outer hand.
2. 2 Hold the post with your inner hand and lean your body away from it, keeping your body in a straight line from head to toe.
3. 3 With a slight bend in your elbow, raise the dumbbell out to the side until your arm reaches shoulder height.
4. 4 Slowly lower the dumbbell back to your side and repeat. Switch sides after completing your set.

Tips

• Keep your chest up and back straight.
• Lift with your shoulder and do not swing the dumbbell.
• Exhale as you raise the dumbbell and inhale as you lower it.
