Instructions:
- 1Stand up straight with a dumbbell in each hand at arm's length, palms facing your torso
- 2Keeping your torso stationary, lift the dumbbells to your side with a slight bend on your elbow
- 3Continue to go up until your arms are slightly above parallel to the floor
- 4Lower the dumbbells back down slowly to the starting position
- 5Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions
Tips:
- Keep your back straight and avoid any leaning or swaying during the exercise
- Control the lift. Do not use your back or shoulders to lift the weights; your hands should only act as hooks
- Do not use very heavy dumbbells to begin with, start with lighter dumbbells and progress over time
- Keep your breathing steady and even throughout the exercise
