Dumbbell Seated Lateral Raise on Stability Ball
The seated lateral raise on a stability ball instead of a bench; the ball asks the trunk to stay still under the raise.
How to do it
Setup
Seated tall on a stability ball, feet wide and flat, bells at the sides.
Steps
- Raise both bells out to shoulder height.
- Keep the ball still under the hips.
- Lower slowly without rocking the ball.
Common mistakes
Ball rolling as the bells rise: widen the feet, lighter bells. Slumping on the ball: sit tall, ribs over hips. Shrugging into the raise: blades down first.
Breathing
Exhale opening the arms, inhale lowering.
