Step 1: With a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing in, stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms down by your sides. This is your starting position. Step 2: With straight arms, exhale as you raise the dumbbells out to the sides until your arms are parallel with the floor. Step 3: Hold the contraction for a moment and then inhale as you lower the dumbbells back to your starting position. Step 4: Repeat for a full set.
