Exercise Description
Underhand-Grip Rear Lateral Raise primarily targets your rear deltoid, which helps to strengthen, tone, and stabilize your shoulders and upper body. Strong deltoids help with pressing, pulling, and overhead movements.
Exercise Instructions

Step 1
Hold a set of dumbbells and stand up with your arms and palms facing each other. Keeping your back straight, bend your waist so that your torso is parallel to the floor. Your arms should hang below your chest. Rotate your forearms at the elbows so that your palms are facing forward. This is your starting position. -
Step 2
With your elbows slightly bent, raise your arms up and out to the sides until they are parallel to the floor. Pause, feel the tension in your shoulders, then slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.
