This month on Trainer Tip Tuesday we will be discussing considerations when you are doing lateral raises with dumbbells. Lateral raises can be one of the most effective ways to improve the strength and mobility of your shoulders, but only if you are doing them correctly for your body.
Lateral raises are one of the most common exercises both in the gym and at home. However, what you think about when doing this exercise can have a huge impact on how your body responds to it.
While many people are focused on lifting the weight up and down or moving their arms and hands through space, this can actually set you up for a number of shoulder issues and injuries. Instead, we recommend keeping your focus on one specific thing while you are doing this exercise.
Check out all of the details in this week’s episode of Trainer Tip Tuesday, and be sure to tune back in next week as we discuss considerations with another exercise.
