Equipment
Keeping your torso stationary, lift the dumbbell to your side with a slight bend on the elbow and your hand slightly tilted forward as if pouring water in a glass, continue to go up until your arm is parallel to the floor.
Exhale as you perform this movement and pause for a second at the top.
Slowly lower the dumbbell back down to the starting position as you inhale.
Repeat the movement for the recommended amount of repetitions and then switch arms.
Pro Tip
Controlled Movement: Raise the dumbbell to the side until your arm is parallel to the floor, keeping your elbow slightly bent. Then lower the dumbbell back down in a controlled manner. Avoid jerking or using momentum to lift the weight, as this can lead to muscle strain and doesn't effectively work your muscles. Keep Your Core Engaged: Engaging your core will help maintain your balance and stability during the exercise. A common mistake is to ignore the core, which can lead to an imbalance and potential injury. Do Not Overextend: When raising the dumbbell, avoid going past the point where your arm is parallel to the ground
