INSTRUCTIONS

  • Start by standing tall with your feet hip-distance apart with dumbbells in each hand in the hammer grip (neutral) position.

  • Engage your core and keep your chest upright with your back in the neutral position.

  • Lean forward with your upper body about 45 degrees from your hips while allowing your arms and shoulders to hang down.   

  • Begin by slowly pulling your elbows to your waist, keeping your elbows close to your body and maintaining a 45 degree angle with your upper body.

  • Hold this position while trying to squeeze your back muscles.

  • Slowly return to the starting position with your arms and shoulders hanging downwards.

  • Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
