Benefits:
Side arm raises primarily target the deltoid muscles, especially the middle part, helping to build shoulder strength and definition. This exercise also improves shoulder stability and mobility. It can enhance overall upper body strength and is beneficial for improving posture by strengthening the shoulders and upper back. Regularly performing side arm raises can contribute to better shoulder endurance and muscle tone.
