Alternating Deltoid Raise

An exercise targeting the shoulder muscles by lifting weights to the sides with alternating arms.

Instructions

• Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand at your sides.
• Raise one arm to the side until it is parallel to the floor, while keeping a slight bend in your elbow.
• Lower your arm back to the starting position and repeat with the opposite arm.
• Continue alternating arms with each repetition.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Lifting the weights too high, causing shoulder strain.
• Using too much momentum instead of controlled movements.
• Not keeping a slight bend in the elbow, causing joint stress.
