Instructions

Kettlebell Standing Prone Lateral Raise

  1. Starting Position:

    • Stand in front of a bench or a sturdy surface, ensuring it is at a comfortable height.

    • Hold a kettlebell in each hand. Your feet should be shoulder-width apart for stability.

  2. Set Up:

    • Lean forward slightly at the hips while keeping your back straight.

    • Rest your chest against the bench or surface for support if needed.

    • Allow your arms to hang straight down at your sides, holding the kettlebells.

  3. Execution:

    • Engage your core for stability.

    • Raise your arms out to the side in a controlled manner, keeping a slight bend in your elbows.

    • Lift the kettlebells until your arms are parallel to the ground. Your hands should be at shoulder height.

    • Focus on squeezing your shoulder muscles at the top of the movement.

  4. Lowering Phase:

    • Slowly lower the kettlebells back down to the starting position, maintaining control throughout.

  5. Repetitions:

    • Perform 8-12 repetitions for 2-3 sets, depending on your fitness level.

Tips for Beginners:

  • Start with lighter kettlebells to ensure good form and avoid injury.

  • Focus on controlled movements rather than lifting heavy weights.

  • If you feel strain in your lower back, reassess your posture or take a break.
