Dumbbell Leaning Front Raise

Dumbbell Learning Front Raise

- A sturdy vertical support (like a parallelette or wall)

Positioning:
1. Stand to the side of the vertical support with your feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Hold a dumbbell in each hand, resting them by your sides.
3. Lean slightly towards the support with one hand on the support for balance.

Movement Instructions:
1. Engage your core and keep your back straight.
2. With a controlled motion, raise both dumbbells in front of you, keeping your arms straight but not locked.
3. Lift the dumbbells to shoulder height or as high as is comfortable for you, ensuring you do not lift your shoulders towards your ears.
4. Hold the position for a moment at the top of the lift.
5. Slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position while maintaining control.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, ensuring a smooth and steady movement throughout.

Tips:
- Start with light weights to master the form before increasing the load.
- Keep your movements slow and controlled to maximize muscle engagement and prevent injury.
- Focus on using your shoulders and upper chest rather than your back or arms to lift the dumbbells.
