1. Start Position: Exhale as you raise the dumbbells outward, keeping them aligned with the sides of your body.
2. Middle Position: Continue to raise, concentrating on moving your arms, by rotating from your shoulders only. Your upper and lower arms move as a single unit. Do not bend your wrists, keeping a slight bend in your elbows.
3. End Position: Raise until your arms are at shoulder height. Hold for 1/2 a second.
4. Return to Middle: Inhale as you slowly return to starting position.
5. Return to Start: Do not lock out your elbows. Repeat the movement for the recommended number of repetitions.
