Standing Forward to Arm Lateral Raise

Setup

• Stand tall with feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.

• Extend both arms forward at shoulder height, palms facing each other.

Movement

• Chest Opening: Slowly move your arms out to the sides, sweeping them backward until you feel a comfortable stretch in your chest and squeeze your shoulder blades together.

• Closing: Reverse the movement, bringing your arms forward back to the starting front-facing position.

• Control: Maintain a smooth, deliberate pace throughout the movement, keeping your arms at shoulder level the entire time.

• Posture: Keep your core engaged and avoid arching your back as you bring your arms backward.
