How to perform Kettlebell Lateral Raise with proper form

Starting Position

  1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart.
  2. Hold a kettlebell in each hand at your sides, palms facing your body.

Execution

  1. Lift: Raise the kettlebells out to the sides, keeping a slight bend in your elbows.
  2. Height: Lift until your arms are parallel to the floor, or slightly higher if comfortable.
  3. Control: Avoid swinging; use a controlled motion both up and down.
  4. Engagement: Keep your core tight and shoulders down throughout the movement.

Return

  1. Lower the kettlebells back to the starting position with control.
  2. Maintain the same control and form while returning.

Tips

  • Keep your neck relaxed and avoid shrugging your shoulders.
  • Focus on using your shoulder muscles to lift the weight.
  • Adjust the weight of the kettlebells to maintain proper form throughout the exercise.
