Side Raises


Side Raises for the Shoulders

1. Stand with feet shoulder width apart and arms straight at your sides (you may do this sitting ). Have a slight bend in the knees and elbows.
 

2. Hold light weights in both hands with palms facing inward.
 

3. Slowly raise both arms outward until your hands are as high as your shoulders. Hold at the top position for one second.
 

4. Lower your arms to the start position.
 

This will constitute one repetition. Make sure to inhale on the downward motion, and exhale on the lifting movement. You may try 8 - 15 repetitions for one or two sets.
