Do 1 minute of lateral raises (lifting arms out to the side with light weights)
Por qué este hábito ayuda
Lateral raises specifically target the deltoid muscles that create shoulder width and stability, essential for all overhead and reaching activities.
This exercise prevents the rounded shoulders that develop from prolonged sitting and computer use, helping maintain proper posture and joint health.
Lo que harás en 1 minuto
- Improves shoulder joint health
- Prevents rotator cuff issues
- Enhances posture by strengthening deltoids
- Supports ability to lift items laterally
- Maintains range of motion in shoulders
Resumen rápido
Your shoulder joints are among the most mobile—and vulnerable—in your body, requiring strong supporting muscles for stability and injury prevention.
Lateral raises build the deltoid muscles that create the 'shoulder cap,' providing both aesthetic benefits and crucial functional strength for everyday reaching and carrying tasks.
Cómo empezar ahora mismo
- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, slight bend in knees
- Hold light weights with palms facing each other at your sides
- Raise arms out to sides until parallel with floor, elbows slightly bent
- Keep shoulders down—don't shrug toward ears
- Lower slowly with control, resisting gravity on the way down

💬 Tus Historias de Éxito
As a graphic designer, I spent hours hunched over my computer, and my shoulders were constantly tight and painful. My physical therapist suggested lateral raises to strengthen the supporting muscles. I started with one-minute sessions using water bottles, and within weeks, my posture improved and the pain disappeared. Now I do them daily, and I can carry heavy grocery bags and lift my kayak onto my car without strain. That simple minute has given me pain-free shoulders for the first time in years.
