Dumbbell Alternate Front Raise

exercise_detail.description

The Dumbbell Alternate Front Raise is an isolation exercise targeting the anterior deltoids. It involves lifting dumbbells in front of the body alternately, which helps in developing shoulder strength and definition. This exercise also engages the upper chest and traps to a lesser extent.

exercise_detail.tips

• Maintain a controlled motion to avoid using momentum.
• Keep your back straight and avoid leaning backward as you lift the weights.
• Focus on lifting with your shoulders, not your arms or back.
• Exhale as you lift the dumbbell and inhale as you lower it.
• Start with lighter weights to ensure proper form before progressing to heavier dumbbells.
