How to perform?
Seated front raises are an isolation exercise that primarily targets the anterior deltoid, which is the front part of your shoulder muscle. To perform the exercise, sit on a bench with your feet flat on the floor and a dumbbell in each hand resting on your thighs. With palms facing down, lift the weights in front of you until your arms are parallel to the floor. Slowly lower the weights back to the starting position and repeat for the desired number of repetitions. This exercise can help to improve shoulder strength and stability, and may also benefit upper body posture. The lateral deltoid and upper trapezius act as secondary muscles, while the clavicular pectoralis major and rotator cuff muscles may also be engaged to a lesser extent. The triceps and biceps brachii muscles may act as quaternary muscles to assist in the movement.
