Equipment
Bend at your waist and lean forward, keeping your back straight, until your torso is almost parallel with the floor. Extend your arms directly below your chest.
Keeping a slight bend in your elbows, raise the dumbbells out to the sides and up until they are at shoulder level, squeezing your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement.
Pause for a moment at the top of the movement, then slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.
Repeat this movement for your desired number of repetitions, ensuring to keep your core engaged and back straight throughout the exercise.

Imagine that you're wrapping your arms around a big tree - this can help you maintain the correct form. Use Appropriate Weight: Don't rush to use heavy weights. Start with lighter ones and gradually increase as your strength improves. Using weights
