The Dumbbell Lying On Floor Rear Delt Raise is an exercise that targets the rear delts, which are the muscles located at the back of the shoulders. This exercise helps to strengthen and tone the rear deltoid muscles, improving shoulder stability and posture.
How to perform
To perform the Dumbbell Lying On Floor Rear Delt Raise:1. Start by lying face down on the floor with a dumbbell in each hand. Extend your arms straight out in front of you with your palms facing each other.
2. Engage your core and keep your neck in a neutral position.
3. Keeping a slight bend in your elbows, lift the dumbbells up and out to the sides until your arms are in line with your body and parallel to the floor. Your palms should be facing down at the top of the movement.
4. Pause for a moment at the top of the movement, then slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.
5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
It's important to use a controlled and smooth motion throughout the exercise, focusing on engaging the rear deltoid muscles.
