Instructions
1. Begin by sitting on a padded stool with your back straight and feet placed firmly on the ground.
2. Hold a dumbbell in each hand with your arms hanging naturally at your sides, palms facing inward.
3. Perform a lateral raise by lifting the dumbbells out to your sides, keeping a slight bend in your elbows and raising them until they are parallel with the shoulders. Ensure the movement comes from the shoulders, not the arms.
4. Lower the dumbbells back down to the starting position while maintaining control.
5. As you prepare for the next repetition, step out laterally with one foot, placing it flat on the ground to the side.
6. Perform the lateral raise again, this time with the additional stability challenge from the stepout.
7. Return your stepped-out foot to the starting position and continue with the next repetition, alternating the stepout side after each complete lateral raise.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets, making sure to maintain good posture and controlled movements throughout the exercise.
