Front to Lateral Raise Combo

1. Start standing with your feet about hip width apart with one dumbbell in each hand. Your hands will start down at your sides.
2. Raise both dumbbells simultaneously in front of you to about shoulder height. Your palms will be facing down and you can have a very slight bend in your elbows.
3. Keeping the weights up at shoulder height, open your arms out to the side.
4. Lower the weights back down to your sides.
5. Repeat the exercise in reverse order by raising the dumbbells out to the side at first, then bringing them to a position in front of you, and then lowering the dumbbells down to your sides.
- Control the movement using your shoulders. Do not use momentum to get the weight up
- Keep your chest up and core engaged. Do not hunch forward.
- When going to the side for the lateral raise, the arms will be on a slight diagonal in front of us. They do not need to go directly to the side.
