INSTRUCTIONS

  • Pick a couple of dumbbells and stand with a straight torso and the dumbbells in front of you at arms length with the palms of the hand facing you. This will be your starting position.

  • While maintaining the torso in a stationary position (no swinging), lift the dumbbells to your front with a slight bend on the elbow. Continue to go up until your arms are parallel to the floor. Exhale as you execute this movement and pause for a second at the top.

  • Lower the dumbbells back down slowly to the starting position as you inhale.

  • Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
