How to do it
- Stand tall holding a dumbbell in front of each thigh, palms facing your body.
- Pull the dumbbells up along your body, leading with your elbows out to the sides.

- Lower them slowly back to your thighs without swinging.
Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
