The lateral raise and front raise are two exercises that target different aspects of your shoulders, but they can be effectively combined into a single movement called a lateral-to-front raise.
The lateral raise isolates your medial deltoid, the muscle on the outer side of your shoulder that gives it width. To perform this exercise, you hold dumbbells by your sides and lift them straight out to shoulder height, maintaining a slight bend in your elbows.
The front raise, on the other hand, works your anterior deltoid, the muscle on the front of your shoulder. Here, you hold dumbbells with palms facing forward and raise your arms directly in front of you until your forearms reach shoulder height.
Combining these motions in a lateral-to-front raise challenges both the medial and anterior deltoid throughout the lift. This is a great way to build overall shoulder strength and definition. You can find video demonstrations of this exercise online to ensure proper form.
