  2. Keep a slight bend in your elbows and your arms extended out to your sides.

  3. Bring the handles together in front of your chest by squeezing your chest muscles, keeping your elbows slightly bent.

  4. Slowly return the handles to the starting position with control, bringing them back to your sides. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Form tips
