Instructions

Step 1: Stand straight with dumbbells in both the hands. The arms should be on the side in fully extended position with the palms facing the torso. Take care that the width between the feet should be equal to the width of the shoulder.

Step 2: Lift the dumbbells towards the side until the weights are in line with the shoulder.

Step 3: Hold for a moment and return to the initial position.

Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of times.

Important tips: Ensure that the elbows are close to the torso during the initial position for maximum efficiency. You could perform this exercise while sitting on a bench with or without back support for added customizability. Always train for higher reps with lower weights.
