Side delts

1. Lie on your side on the floor or a bench, with your legs stacked. Hold a dumbbell in your top hand with your arm resting across your body.
2. Keeping your arm relatively straight, lift the dumbbell in an arc until it's pointing toward the ceiling.
3. Slowly lower the dumbbell with control back to the starting position. Complete all reps on one side before switching.
