How to do it

  1. Stand tall with a dumbbell in each hand, arms at your sides and palms facing your thighs.
  2. Without turning your wrist, curl one dumbbell up and across your body toward the opposite shoulder.
  3. Lower it slowly along the same path to a straight arm, then repeat with the other arm.
  4. Keep your upper arm close to your body and don't twist or swing your torso to help.

Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
