How to do a front raise
- Stand upright with feet hip-width apart and dumbbells resting against the front of your thighs.
- Keep a slight bend in your elbows and brace your core.
- Raise both dumbbells forward until your arms are parallel to the floor at shoulder height.
- Pause briefly at the top without leaning back.
- Lower the dumbbells slowly and under control to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Form tips
- Avoid swinging or using momentum to lift the weights.
- Keep your torso stable and core engaged throughout the movement.
- Raise only to shoulder height, not higher.
- Maintain a slight elbow bend to protect the joints.
