How to: Dumbbell Seated Lateral Raise on Stability Ball
- Sit on a stability ball with your feet flat on the floor and knees at a 90-degree angle.
- Hold a dumbbell in each hand at your sides with your palms facing your body.
- Exhale and raise the dumbbells out to the sides until your arms are parallel to the ground.
- Pause for a moment at the top of the movement, then slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.
Common Mistakes
- Using momentum to lift the weights instead of controlled movement.
- Arching the back instead of maintaining a neutral spine.
- Lifting above shoulder level, which can strain the shoulder joint.
Modifications
- Perform the exercise without the stability ball if you have balance issues.
- Use lighter weights if you're unable to maintain proper form.
Tips
- Keep your back straight and core engaged to maintain balance on the stability ball.
- Lift the dumbbells to shoulder height, avoiding going above it to prevent shoulder strain.
- Control the movement on both the up and down phases to maximize muscle engagement.
