    How to: Dumbbell One Arm Lateral Raise

    1. Stand upright with a dumbbell in one hand at your side.
    2. With a slight bend in your elbow, raise your arm out to the side until it is parallel to the ground.
    3. Hold for a moment at the top, then slowly lower back to the starting position.
    4. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, then switch arms.
