Learn How To Do Two Arm Dumbbell Front Raise And Its Benefits

HOW TO DO TWO ARM DUMBBELL FRONT RAISE

Starting Position:

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent for stability.

  2. Hold a dumbbell in each hand with your arms extended down in front of your thighs. Ensure that your palms are facing your thighs, and your elbows are slightly bent.

Form:

  1. Engage your core muscles to stabilize your spine and maintain good posture throughout the exercise.

  2. Exhale as you slowly lift both dumbbells simultaneously in front of your body until your arms are parallel to the ground. Keep a slight bend in your elbows.

  3. Hold the top position for a brief moment, focusing on squeezing your shoulder muscles.

  4. Inhale as you lower the dumbbells back down to the starting position in a controlled manner, maintaining tension in your shoulder muscles.

  5. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

Personal Trainer Tips:

  1. Avoid using momentum to lift the dumbbells. Focus on using the strength of your shoulder muscles to lift the weight.

  2. Keep your abdominal muscles engaged and your lower back stable throughout the exercise to prevent arching or overarching.

  3. Maintain a smooth and controlled movement pattern, avoiding jerky or swinging motions.

  4. Use a weight that allows you to perform the exercise with proper form and technique. If you find yourself struggling to maintain form, consider using lighter dumbbells.
