Alternating Dumbbell Front Raise

Accurate?

Sculpt strong shoulders! This alternating front raise isolates each side for balanced gains and better form.

Instructions

1. Stand up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart. Hold a dumbbell in each hand with your palms facing your thighs.

2. Keep your elbows slightly bent and your core engaged throughout the movement.

3. Start by lifting one dumbbell directly in front of you, keeping a slight bend in your elbow and your palm facing down.

4. Raise the dumbbell smoothly until your arm is parallel to the floor, and the dumbbell is at shoulder level.

5. Pause briefly at the top of the movement.

6. Lower the dumbbell back to the starting position in a controlled motion.

7. As soon as the hand is back at thigh level, raise the other dumbbell, performing the same movement with the alternate arm.

8. Continue to alternate arms for the desired number of repetitions.

9. Make sure to breathe out as you lift the dumbbell and breathe in as you lower it.

Remember to start with a weight that allows you to perform the exercise with proper form to avoid injury. Gradually increase the weight as you gain strength and confidence in the movement.
