lateral raises
Arms out sideways
Lateral raises are a weight training exercise targeting the shoulder muscles, particularly the deltoids.
Standing with arms at your sides, you lift dumbbells outward until your arms are roughly parallel to the floor, forming a T-shape: I do lateral raises three times a week to build my shoulders.
Also called side raises.
