How to perform Bodyweight Front Raise with proper form

Setup

1. Starting Position: Stand upright with feet shoulder-width apart, arms relaxed at your sides.

Execution

2. Lift Arms: Raise your arms straight in front of you to shoulder height, keeping a slight bend in the elbows. Palms should face down.
3. Engage Core: Tighten your core and maintain a neutral spine throughout the movement.
4. Hold and Control: Pause at the top of the movement for a moment, then slowly lower your arms back to the starting position.

Tips

• Avoid Momentum: Move slowly and steadily; avoid swinging your arms.
• Shoulder Alignment: Keep shoulders relaxed, away from ears.
• Breathing: Inhale while raising arms and exhale while lowering them.

Common Mistakes

• Lifting too high (beyond shoulder height).
• Using excessive body movement (e.g., leaning back).
• Tension in the neck or shoulders.

Benefits

• Strengthens shoulder muscles.
• Improves shoulder stability and mobility.
