Standing Front Raises. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, toes pointing forward
with a slight bend in your knees. Lift your chest, pull your shoulder blades together
and look straight forward. Your arms should be at your sides with your palms facing in
towards your body and a slight bend in your elbow. Keep your wrist in a neutral position.
Exhale and slowly raise your arms straight up in front of you until your fists are parallel
with the ground and the same height as your shoulder. No higher than your shoulder. Inhale
as you lower back down, keeping your palms facing in towards your body. Your abs engages,
your knees slightly bent. As you lift back up be conscious of keeping your shoulders
pressed down and your chin lifted. To make this more difficult you can add resistance.
Dumbbells work well. Hold on in each hand, keep your palms in towards your body and repeat
the same movement by lifting your arms up. Slow and controlled. And lowering back down.
Continue with that movement. You can also challenge your balance by closing your eyes
or trying this on one foot. Make sure to keep your abdominals engaged and continue to breathe.
