Instructions
Sit on a bench with your back straight and feet flat on the floor.
Grasp a dumbbell in each hand with a neutral grip (palms facing in towards your body).
Start with both dumbbells resting on your thighs.
Keeping one arm stationary, exhale and lift one dumbbell in front of you to shoulder height, with a slight bend in the elbow, and palm facing down.
Inhale and lower the dumbbell back to the starting position in a controlled motion.
Repeat the same motion with the other arm, alternating between the two. This counts as one rep for each arm.
Continue alternating arms for the desired number of repetitions.
Points to remember: Keep your core engaged throughout the motion to stabilize your torso. Avoid using momentum to lift the weights; use controlled muscular movements. Your shoulders should be down and back, and your chest up throughout the exercise. Avoid raising the dumbbells too high, which could put unnecessary stress on your shoulders.
