Instructions
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent. Hold a pair of dumbbells at your sides with palms facing inward. This is your starting position.
Brace core and raise the dumbbells in front of your chest in a wide V. Squeeze your shoulder blades together and hold. Slowly lower the dumbbells to the start position and repeat.
Trainer’s Tips
Stop the lift when the dumbbells reach the top of your shoulders.
Make sure to choose the right weight for your skill level. A lighter weight is recommended for this exercise.
