BEGINNER
Dumbbell Diagonal Raise
Dumbbell Diagonal Raise primarily strengthens the shoulder muscles but also works the upper chest. It also builds strength in the front and sides of your shoulders.
Instructions
- Stand up, feet shoulder-width apart. Hold a dumbbell in one hand in front of the opposite thigh. Your palm should be facing inward toward your body.
- Raise the dumbbell across your body and out to the side. Pause by placing your hand just above shoulder level. Return your hand to its original position.
Tips
- Avoid using momentum to go through the exercise. Focus on moving slowly and in a controlled manner with each repetition.
- Be sure to lift the dumbbell diagonally across your body.
- Keep the tension in your shoulder at all times.
