The Workout Room DUMBBELL SIDE RAISE

This is the first of TWO videos showing the same exercise. This one was shot from the side, the next one, shot straight on.


I'm using 25 lb weights and, you can see, it's difficult. I tend to go for heavier weights so I can push myself and really stretch and grow.


Start lighter and GET THE FORM. With this heavier weight, I'm having to get a tiny hitch at the top - Ray would bust me for that hitch; but he would also be proud of me for pushing myself.


Start with the weight in front of your thighs and get that ballet arm curve. Raise it out, elbows high, like a bird flying.

Shoot for 15 reps and 3 sets.


If it become difficult, go with lighter weight!
