Step 1

Holding a dumbbell in each hand in a neutral grip (palms facing inwards), plant both feet on the mat hip-width apart. This is your starting position.

Step 2

Inhale. Exhale. While maintaining a slight bend in your elbows, raise the dumbbells outwards and upwards to shoulder height, as they reach shoulder-height move them forwards to bring them directly in front of your chest, ensuring that you draw your shoulder blades down and back. Once the dumbbells come together in front of your chest, draw the dumbbells backwards until they are in line with your shoulders, once again, ensuring that you draw your shoulder blades down and back.

Step 3

Inhale. Slowly lower the dumbbells down to your sides to return to the starting position. Repeat for the specified number of repetitions.
