Techniques
  1. Stand with feet hip width apart, knees slightly bent
  2. Start with the dumbells in your hands resting on your thighs
  3. With elbows slightly bent slowly raise your hands out in front of you until the dumbells are just above shoulder height
  4. At the same speed, lower your hands back down to your thighs
Tips
  • Try to keep the rest of your body as still as possible throughout the exercise
  • Be sure to keep your elbows slightly bent at ALL times
  • Remember, 2 seconds up, 2 seconds down
  • Try not to let gravity pull your arms down, control the movement yourself
  • Don't swing from the hips or arch your lower back. If you find this happening, use a lighter weight
