Lateral Raise Gym Machine

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.Lateral raises work the trapezius muscle in your upper back as well as the deltoid muscle group in your shoulders—particularly the anterior and lateral deltoids. With the proper form, lateral raises enhance muscle growth (a process known as hypertrophy) and increase your range of motion.
