Seated Dumbbell Front Raise

How to Do:

1. Set Up: Sit on a bench with your feet flat on the floor, shoulder-width apart. Hold a dumbbell in each hand with your arms hanging naturally at your sides, palms facing your thighs.
2. Starting Position: Keep your back straight and your core engaged. Sit tall, ensuring stability and avoiding any swinging motion.
3. Lift: Exhale as you lift both dumbbells simultaneously in front of you, keeping your arms straight but slightly bent at the elbows. Raise them until they are at shoulder height, palms facing downward.
4. Top Position: Hold the top position briefly, focusing on engaging your front deltoids.
5. Lower: Inhale as you slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position with control.
6. Repeat: Perform for the desired number of repetitions.

Benefits:

The seated dumbbell front raise isolates the anterior deltoids, improving shoulder strength and definition. The seated position eliminates momentum from the lower body, ensuring controlled, targeted movement. This exercise enhances posture, shoulder mobility, and functional strength for daily activities and athletic performance.
