Techniques
  1. Start with your feet shoulder width apart and the dumbells at shoulder height, with your palms facing you
  2. Slowly raise the dumbells into the air twisting as they go up so that the dumbells meet each other above your head with your palms eventually facing forward
  3. Now slowly lower and twist the dumbells until they are in front of your chin with your palms facing you
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you can no longer maintain correct technique
Tips
  • The twist should be a gradual twist on the way up and down
  • Lean back slightly and raise the dumbells just in front of your face
