How to do it

  1. Begin by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand at your sides with your palms facing your body.

  2. Raise both arms out to the sides until they reach shoulder height, maintaining a slight bend in your elbows.

  3. Pause briefly at the top of the movement, ensuring your arms are parallel to the floor.

  4. Lower the dumbbells back to the starting position with control. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Form tips

  • Do not raise the dumbbells higher than shoulder height to prevent shoulder strain.

  • Maintain a slight bend in your elbows throughout the exercise.

  • Keep your wrists straight and aligned with your forearms.
