Instructions
1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, and core engaged.
2. Hold a dumbbell in each hand with palms facing the thighs. This will be your starting position.
3. Without swinging, raise one dumbbell in front of you, keeping your arm straight, up to shoulder height, while simultaneously raising the other dumbbell laterally to the side, also to shoulder height. Ensure that both movements are controlled.
4. Pause briefly at the top of the movement.
5. Lower the dumbbells back to the starting position in a slow, controlled manner.
6. On the next repetition, switch the movement of the arms - the arm that performed the front raise now performs the lateral raise, and vice versa.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, alternating the raises each time.
Be sure to use a weight that allows you to execute the movement with proper form and do not use momentum to lift the weights. Keep your back straight and avoid leaning too far forward or backward during the exercise.
