How to do it

  1. Stand tall with a dumbbell at each side, palms facing in and elbows slightly bent.
  2. Raise the dumbbells out to the sides and slightly forward until your arms are about parallel to the floor.
  3. Lead with your elbows and keep your shoulders down, away from your ears.
  4. Lower them slowly back to your sides without swinging your body.

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