Dumbbell Raises

Take dumbbells in each hand and stand straight, arms extended at your sides with a slight bend at the elbow, keep your back straight. This will be your starting position. As you exhale, with the effort of the shoulder muscles, lift the dumbbells up to chest level. Your movements should be guided by your elbows. Hold the dumbbells for 1-2 seconds in the highest position. As you exhale, lower the dumbbells down. Be careful with the choice of weight, as if the exercise is not performed correctly, asymmetries in muscle growth and shoulder injuries are possible.
