How to do it

  1. Hold a dumbbell in each hand and hinge at your hips until your torso is almost parallel to the floor.
  2. Let the dumbbells hang below your chest with palms facing each other and a slight bend in your elbows.
  3. Sweep your arms out wide to the sides until they're in line with your body, without pinching your shoulder blades together.
  4. Lower them slowly, keeping your back flat and your torso still, without swinging.

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