How to: Dumbbell Seated Alternate Front Raise
- Sit on a bench with your back straight and hold a dumbbell in each hand at your thighs.
- With a slight bend in your elbows, raise one dumbbell in front of you to shoulder height while keeping the other dumbbell at your side.
- Hold for a moment at the top, then lower it back to the starting position.
- Repeat on the other side.
Common Mistakes
- Lifting the weights too high, which can strain the shoulder.
- Using momentum instead of muscle control.
- Failing to engage the core during the lift.
Modifications
- Use lighter weights to reduce strain.
- Perform the exercise seated without weights to focus on form.
Tips
- Maintain a straight posture throughout the movement.
- Lift the dumbbells to shoulder height while keeping your elbows slightly bent.
- Lower the dumbbells slowly to control the movement.
