Exercise of the Day - Front and Lateral Raises

Use light dumbbells or lower resistance bands for this exercise because the deltoids are some of the weaker muscles. Work toward a set of 10 reps for each of these and ultimately 4 sets. So you will do 10 lateral raises and 10 front raises. I like to mix it up using both arms at the same time and then alternating one arm at a time and then some times I will do a front then a lateral in alternating reps.

This is a lateral raise:

This is a front raise:

Here are some good videos demonstrating the exercise:
