Lift 2: Standing Lateral Raise

Target: Shoulders

Step 1: Stand with your stomach tight and your back straight. Hold a pair of dumbbells at your sides, one in each hand.

Step 2: Exhale as you raise your arms out to the sides with your palms facing down. Bring the dumbbells to shoulder level, keeping a slight bend in your elbows. Keep your neck long. Inhale as you lower your arms. Do 15 repetitions.
