Exercise Description:
The dumbbell front raise is an isolation exercise that works the anterior deltoids, or the front of the shoulders. It is a great exercise to include in your routine because it helps to build strength and definition in the front of your shoulders.
The dumbbell front raise can translate into daily life in a few ways. First, it can help you improve your posture. This is because the front raise helps to strengthen your anterior deltoids, which helps to pull your shoulders back and down. Second, it can help you improve your range of motion in your shoulders. This is because the front raise helps to stretch the muscles in the front of your shoulders. Third, it can help you build muscle in your shoulders, which can give you a more attractive physique.
Proper form is important when doing the dumbbell front raise to avoid injury. Here are some cues to help you maintain proper form:
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent.
- Hold a dumbbell in each hand, with your palms facing forward and your arms at your sides.
- Slowly raise the dumbbells up to shoulder height, keeping your elbows slightly bent.
- Pause, then lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.
- Keep your back straight throughout the movement.
- Don't let your elbows flare out to the sides.
- Keep your shoulders down and back.
