How to do it
5 stepsStand tall holding a dumbbell in each hand at your sides with elbows slightly bent and your back straight.
Exhale and lift the weights up toward your chest, leading with your elbows and keeping the dumbbells close to your body.
Pause for a second when your hands reach about chest height.
Inhale and lower the dumbbells back down under control.
Repeat for the planned reps without swinging your torso.
Choose a modest weight. A load that is too heavy strains the shoulders and encourages swinging.
Skip this move if you have shoulder problems. A straight bar on a low cable, an EZ bar, or a resistance band also works.
