How to perform Kettlebell Lateral Raise with proper form
Starting Position

- Hold a kettlebell in each hand at your sides, palms facing your body.
Execution
- Lift: Raise the kettlebells out to the sides, keeping a slight bend in your elbows.
- Height: Lift until your arms are parallel to the floor, or slightly higher if comfortable.
- Control: Avoid swinging; use a controlled motion both up and down.
- Engagement: Keep your core tight and shoulders down throughout the movement.
Return
- Lower the kettlebells back to the starting position with control.
- Maintain the same control and form while returning.
Tips
- Keep your neck relaxed and avoid shrugging your shoulders.
- Focus on using your shoulder muscles to lift the weight.
- Adjust the weight of the kettlebells to maintain proper form throughout the exercise.
