Front Raise
- Beginner

- Home
The front raise is a standing dumbbell exercise, arms nearly straight as you lift the weight forward to shoulder height. It isolates the front delts, unlike a press that also works the triceps and chest. Beginners use it at home or in the gym for weight and reps, one arm or both together.
