Extend your arms straight up, lifting the dumbbells towards the ceiling while keeping your palms facing each other.
Pause for a moment at the top of the movement, ensuring to keep your arms fully extended but not locked.
Slowly lower the dumbbells back down to your shoulders, maintaining control throughout the movement.
Repeat the lifting and lowering motion for your desired number of repetitions while making sure you maintain proper form throughout the exercise.
Pro Tip
**Controlled Movement**: Press the dumbbells straight up until your arms are fully extended, but not locked at the elbows. Avoid the common mistake of locking your elbows as it puts unnecessary strain on the joint. Lower the weights back to the starting position in a slow, controlled manner. This controlled movement helps engage your muscles throughout the exercise and reduces the risk of injury. **Engage Core**: Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to support your lower back. A common mistake is to arch the back off the floor, which can lead to lower back strain. By
