Grab 2 dumbbells — one for each hand.

Your foot position is your personal preference. You can place your feet together or stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart.

Keep a slight bend in your knees throughout this exercise to help eliminate extra movement. You don't want your body swinging, which can create momentum and lessen the results.

Hinge at the hips, keeping a straight back. The angle will depend on each individual.

Keep your core tightened throughout the exercise.

Allow your arms to hang naturally in front of you with your palms facing toward each other.

Slowly lift the dumbbells by bending your elbows and leading with your elbows. Bring your elbows right up beside your body.

Focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together at the top of the lift.

Pause for a brief moment and then slowly lower the dumbbells to starting position.

Repeat.
