Standing Lift

The standing lift builds strength through the core and upper body, with particular emphasis on the deltoids.

Instructions

  1. 294_A
    Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Hold a weight or a medicine ball in front of your stomach.
  2. Standing Lift
    Slightly bend your knees and lower the weight down by one side without moving your feet.
  3. 294_C
    In a single motion, sweep the ball up over the opposite shoulder with extended arms. Return the weight to the starting position.

Trainer’s Tips

  • Keep your knees out and centered over your feet throughout the entire exercise. Avoid letting them roll in as you rotate.
  • Keep your feet flat on the ground and center your weight over your heels.
  • Avoid rounding your shoulders forward during the exercise. Pull your shoulders down and back.
