Dumbbell Front Raise Cues:
- Start exercise in a standing position: feet shoulder width, core engaged, dumbbells held at waist with extended arms, shoulders back, and chest up.
- Lift the dumbbells with an overhand grip in front of the body to shoulder height.
- Return to start position in a controlled movement while maintaining a neutral spine and without swaying your body for one rep.
Ideas for Exercise Uses:
- Perform as a warm-up exercise with lightweight before doing a shoulder workout.
- Add to a full body workout as a pull exercise.
- Use as a strengthening exercise with light weight in between heavy sets of upper body exercises.
