How to: Dumbbell Alternate Front Raise
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a dumbbell in each hand at your sides.
- With a slight bend in your elbows, raise the dumbbells straight in front of you to shoulder height.
- Pause for a moment at the top, then slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.
- Keep your chest up and shoulders back throughout the movement.
Common Mistakes
- Using too heavy weights, leading to poor form.
- Not fully extending the arms at the bottom.
- Arching the back instead of keeping it straight.
Modifications
- Perform with lighter weights or resistance bands.
- Sit down on a bench to reduce strain on the lower back.
Tips
- Keep your core tight to stabilize your torso during the movement.
- Focus on a controlled movement to avoid using momentum.
- Ensure that you lift the dumbbells to shoulder height.
