One-Dumbbell Front Raises

One-Dumbbell Front Raises

Stand with your feet slightly spread. Keep your back straight and your abdominals contracted. Hold the dumbbell, palms facing in, with your hands overlapping each other. Rest the dumbbell on your thighs with your arms straight:

- Inhale and raise the dumbbell forward until it reaches shoulder level

- Slowly lower the dumbbell, making sure to avoid any jerky movements

- Exhale as you complete the movement

This exercise works the anterior deltoids as well as the upper pectorals an the short head of the biceps.

All the muscles that stabilize the scapulae use isometric action, allowing the humerus to pivot on a stable support.
