Cable lateral raise
The cable lateral raise is an effective exercise for targeting the lateral deltoids and improving shoulder strength and stability. It can be incorporated into your upper body or shoulder workout routine, or used as part of a full-body strength training program.
How to do:
Starting Position: Attach a handle to the bottom of a cable machine, and grasp the handle with an overhand position.
Form: Exhale and lift your arm out to the side to about 90 degrees. Hold for a brief second and then slowly return to the starting position.
Personal Trainer Tips: During this shoulder exercise posture and form are very important.
As you get fatigued, there will be a tendency to either shrug your shoulders or tilt your hips and lower back in order to lift the weight.
Engage your abdominal muscles to stabilize your pelvis and lower back and keep your shoulder blades pulled down and back as you lift.
