Side Lying Dumbbell Lateral Raise

Lie on your side on the floor, support your torso on the lower elbow, and hold a dumbbell in your upper hand.

Keep your torso steady and raise the upper arm sideways to lift the dumbbell.

Stop at a comfortable shoulder range and lower your arms slowly.

This movement primarily works your side deltoids. Focus on controlling the motion through these muscles.

Avoid shrugging or swinging your torso to throw the load upward.

Exhale as you raise your arms and inhale as you lower.

Gently press through the supporting arm rather than collapsing into that shoulder, then switch sides.
