The Dumbbell Front Raise is an isolation exercise that targets the front deltoids (shoulders). It helps increase shoulder strength and definition.
How to perform
To perform the Dumbbell Front Raise, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand with your palms facing towards your body.
2. Keep your core engaged and your back straight.
3. Slowly raise the dumbbells in front of you, with your arms extended but slightly bent at the elbows. Keep your wrists straight throughout the movement.
4. Lift the dumbbells until they are at shoulder height, or slightly above shoulder height. Avoid swinging the weights or using momentum to lift them.
5. Hold the position at the top for a second, then slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.
6. Repeat for the desired number of reps.
Make sure to start with a lighter weight to avoid straining your shoulders, and focus on proper form throughout the exercise. It's always a good idea to consult with a fitness professional before starting any new exercise routine.
