Steps
Step 1
Grab a pair of dumbbells and sit on a chair or box with your feet firmly on the floor.
Allow your arms to hang down by your sides with your palms facing towards each other.
Step 2
Maintaining a good posture with your back straight, chin tucked, abs braced (no swinging!) and with a slight bend in your elbows, raise your arms out to the side until they are parallel with the ground.
Step 3
Pause and hold the contraction at the top for a second, and then slowly return the weight back to the starting position.
Repeat for the recommended number of repetitions.
Important: your elbows must lead the movement! Don’t raise the dumbbells with your hands or wrists.
