Standing Lateral Rise Machine

Use a machine that allows an arc movement to replicate a dumbbell side lateral raise. Stand with knees slightly bent, in between the two handles.Pick a couple of dumbbells and stand with them by your sides, palms facing your body. Keeping your upper body still – that means no swinging – lift the dumbbells out to your side with a slight bend at your elbows. Lift until your arms are parallel to the floor then slowly lower to the start position.The primary muscle worked in the Lateral Raise exercise is the medial or middle deltoid. This is achieved by lifting the arms to the sides. Lifting the arms to different directions will change the target muscles. For example – lifting the arms to the front will primarily work the anterior deltoids.Lateral raises help you achieve defined shoulders and upper arms that have a rounded appearance. Other than benefits to your appearance, lateral raises will help increase your shoulder mobility, range of motion, and stability. This helps you become better at activities like lifts and presses.Sit in the lateral raise machine while keeping your core tight and back flat. Grab and secure the handles of the machine. Slowly, extend your arms up and out to the side. Feel the tension in your shoulders, pause at the top, and slowly return to the starting position.Standing on tip-toes (standing calf raises/toe stand exercise) Standing tall with your legs straight and abdominal muscles flexed, raise your heels as high as you can go while balancing on your toes. If you're doing this right, you should start to feel a stretch in your calf muscles.BASIC BODY POSITIONS.
