Dumbbell front raise

VeryWellFit: "The side lateral raise is an effective shoulder-strengthening movement designed to isolate the lateral head of the deltoid muscle. Performed regularly, this can help you develop stronger, broader shoulders." [ID: db_front_raise]

Instructions

First time: Do 1 set, 10 reps, start with a light weight

Steps:

Start position: Stand tall, a dumbbell in each hand with arms at your sides, palms facing in
Lift the weights upward, palms facing down, with a slight bend in the elbows to reduce the stress on the joints
Pause briefly when your arms are horizontal to the floor, then lower dumbbells to the start position

Details

You can raise one arm at a time if you like.

Progressions: Add weight, sets, reps

Variations:

Raise one arm at a time, alternating left and right
Use one dumbbell instead of two
I like this combo: alternate between front raise and lateral raise, www.youtube.com/watch?v=whB-LMshj4Y
