One-arm dumbbell front raise
To build muscles or lose weight, one can also engage in the one-arm front raise with dumbbells to strengthen the shoulder muscles. In contrast to the previous variations, you focus initially on a single arm before shifting attention to the other. This exercise allows for a more intense activation of the muscles.
Body position
Start in an upright position. Your legs should be in a hip-width stance for a stable base. The knees are slightly bent. Grip a dumbbell in an overhand grip. Keep your upper body upright. It is advisable to maintain a slight arch in the lower back to protect the spine. The second hand can be placed on the hip or held behind the back. Now, direct your gaze forward and commence with the one-arm front raise with the dumbbell.
Movement execution
Lift your arm with the dumbbell slowly and controlled upward. Exhale during the upward movement. Halt the movement when the dumbbell is parallel to the ground with your arm. Inhale afterward and return slowly to the starting position. Only switch to the other side once you have completed all repetitions.
