How to do it

  1. Stand tall holding a dumbbell in front of each thigh, palms facing your body.
  2. Raise one or both dumbbells straight in front of you until your arms reach shoulder height.
  3. Keep a slight bend in your elbows and don't lean back or swing the weight up.
  4. Lower them slowly back to your thighs.

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