Execution: Stand with your feet slightly spread apart. Keeping your back straight and let your arms hang at your sides. Raise the dumbbells level with your shoulder, keeping your elbows slightly bent. In a controlled manner, return the weights to your starting position.

Variations:
• Try varying the starting positions of the dumbbells. To your sides, behind your buttocks or in front of your thighs.
• You can also vary the high that you raise the weight to. Shoulder level or raise them above the horizontal plane of your shoulders.
