How to Do Dumbbell Lateral Raise:
Starting Position: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand with your arms straight by your sides. Keep your elbows slightly bent at the start.
Form: Exhale and raise both dumbbells out to the sides while maintaining a straight arm. As you lift, allow your elbows to bend slightly to about a 45-degree angle.
Squeeze: Pause at the top of the movement, just before your arms reach shoulder height, and squeeze the trapezius and deltoid muscles.
Lower: Inhale and slowly return the dumbbells to the starting position with control.
Repeat: Perform 3-4 sets of 10-12 reps.
Dumbbell Lateral Raise Benefits:

Postural Improvement: Strengthens muscles that support the neck and back, helping to improve posture.
Shoulder Stability: Enhances shoulder stability and strength, reducing the risk of injury.
Neck & Upper Back Support: Strengthens the muscles responsible for stabilizing the neck and upper back, reducing tension.
