Kettlebell Standing Prone Lateral Raise
1. Starting Position:
- Stand in front of a bench or a sturdy surface, ensuring it is at a comfortable height.
- Hold a kettlebell in each hand. Your feet should be shoulder-width apart for stability.
2. Set Up:
- Lean forward slightly at the hips while keeping your back straight.
- Rest your chest against the bench or surface for support if needed.
- Allow your arms to hang straight down at your sides, holding the kettlebells.
3. Execution:
- Engage your core for stability.
- Raise your arms out to the side in a controlled manner, keeping a slight bend in your elbows.
- Lift the kettlebells until your arms are parallel to the ground. Your hands should be at shoulder height.
- Focus on squeezing your shoulder muscles at the top of the movement.
4. Lowering Phase:
- Slowly lower the kettlebells back down to the starting position, maintaining control throughout.
5. Repetitions:
- Perform 8-12 repetitions for 2-3 sets, depending on your fitness level.
Tips for Beginners:
- Start with lighter kettlebells to ensure good form and avoid injury.
- Focus on controlled movements rather than lifting heavy weights.
- If you feel strain in your lower back, reassess your posture or take a break.
