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, where you position your arms during this exercise is highly individualized.

While most people have a default way of doing this exercise based on what they believe “proper” form to be, there is an easy way to figure out how your body likes doing lateral raises.

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 another consideration with lateral raises.
