Dumbbell front raises

Muscle group: Front delt (shoulder)

Step 1: Stand with your  feet shoulder width apart. Hold the dumbbells in each hand by an overhand grip (palms down). Rest the dumbbell on your thighs.

Step 2:  Start raising one dumbbell, keeping your shoulder as the pivot point. Make sure to keep your back straight. You should inhale while raising.

Avoid this mistake: Many people tend to bend their back for extra support unintentionally. This leads to lower back pain in the long run. Avoid this by deliberately locking your back in position and keeping your hip muscles tight.

Step 3: Slowly let the dumbbell down as you exhale. Repeat with the other arm.
