How to Dumbbell Reverse Raise

Starting Position

1. Hold light dumbbells in both hands, lean your upper body forward while keeping your back straight.

2. Let your arms hang down towards the floor with your palms facing each other.

Proper Form

1. Raise both arms to the side with your elbows slightly bent.

2. Lift them to shoulder height, then slowly lower back to the starting position.

3. Keep the angle of your upper body and waist the same.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when lifting, and inhale when lowering.

Precautions

2. Do not lift the dumbbells quickly like you're bouncing; control the movement slowly.
