How to do the Dumbbell Front Raise
- Stand with your feet hip-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand with your arms fully extended by your sides and palms facing your thighs.
- Raise the dumbbells in front of you to shoulder height, keeping your arms straight and palms facing down.
- Pause briefly at the top of the movement, ensuring your shoulders are not shrugging up towards your ears.
- Slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position in a controlled manner. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Form tips
- Avoid swinging the weights; use a controlled motion to lift and lower the dumbbells.
- Maintain a slight bend in your elbows to reduce joint strain.
- Keep your shoulders down and relaxed throughout the exercise.
