Try this exercise.  Start out by holding a kettle bell in each hand.  Tighten your abs and keep them tight as you sit down on a balance board.  Place your legs in the shape of a V.  Keep your back straight and continue to squeeze your abs, glutes and thighs.  Slowly begin to curl the weight in your right hand up to your shoulder from the floor. Now, carefully press it up above your head.  Lower the weight to your shoulder again and then to the floor.  Now repeat the same motion on your left side.  Repeat this pattern for 2 sets of 12 repetitions to start.

The one arm seated can be done using a kettle bell.  Start by holding the kettle bell with your right hand.  Sit down on a balance ball with your feet shoulders width apart.  Squeeze your abs and let the weight fall between your knees.  Now, keep the weight close to the body as you lift it up to your chest.  Your right elbow will extend to the side when lifting.  Lower the weight and repeat the entire motion for 2 sets of 12 repetitions (on each arm).

Here is an alternative to the front raise exercise done with a foam roller.  It will add intensity to the movement by just adding a twist at your waist.  Start by standing up straight with your feet a few feet apart.  Your toes should be pointed forward.  Hold the foam roller at each end and keep your arms straight.  Tighten your abs as you raise your arms up until they are parallel to the ground.  Now twist at the waist to the right and lower the roller back to the starting position and repeat for 2 sets of 10 repetitions to start.
