  1. Holding two dumbbells with an underhand grip (palms facing towards your body) directly in front of your chest, plant both feet on the floor slightly further than shoulder-width apart. This is your starting position.
  2. Inhale. Without moving your left arm, extend your right elbow to press the dumbbell above your head, rotating your wrist outwards to turn your palm away from your body. Your right arm should be in line with your right ear on the side of your head.
  3. Exhale. Once your right arm is fully extended, bend your elbow to lower the dumbbell into your chest and rotate your wrist inwards to return to the starting position.
