How to do Kettlebell Lateral Raise
Setup
Stand tall with a light kettlebell in each hand hanging at your sides, palms facing your thighs. Brace your core and keep a soft bend in your elbows.
How to do it
- Raise the kettlebells out to the sides until your arms reach shoulder height
- Lead with your elbows so the handles stay below elbow level at the top
- Pause briefly at the top, then lower under control
- Keep your torso still with no leaning back or swinging
Watch out for
- Using momentum to swing the kettlebells up instead of a controlled deltoid contraction
- Raising above shoulder height and shrugging, which shifts the work to the traps
