#7. Lateral Dumbbell Raise
Again, if you have shoulder problems, you can use a lower weighted dumbbell, a resistance band, or complete the motion without weight.
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, shoulders back, abs tightened.
- With weights in each hand, raise arms out to sides, either both arms together or one at a time.
- Slowly lower dumbbells back down to your sides.
- Try 2 sets of 10 reps.
#8. Forward Dumbbell Raise
If you have shoulder problems, use one weight instead of two. Hold that weight on either end and lift up as you would if using two weights.
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, shoulders back, abs tightened.
- With weights in each hand, lift arms forward, stopping motion once weights are even with shoulders. Both arms together or single arms.
- Slowly lower dumbbells down.
- Try 2 sets of 10 reps.
