    How to: Dumbbell One Arm Front Raise

    1. Stand or sit with a dumbbell in one hand at your side.
    2. With a slight bend in your elbow, raise the dumbbell in front of you until it reaches shoulder height.
    3. Pause briefly at the top, then lower the dumbbell back to the starting position.
    4. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

    Common Mistakes

    • Lifting too heavy, causing strain on the shoulder.
    • Not fully extending or lowering the arm.
    • Using momentum instead of controlled movements.

    Modifications

    • Reduce the weight of the dumbbell for beginners or those with shoulder restrictions.
    • Perform the exercise seated for added stability.

    Tips

    • Keep your core engaged to stabilize your body during the lift.
    • Avoid swinging the dumbbell; use controlled movements to maximize muscle engagement.
    • Start with a weight that allows you to complete the reps with good form.
