Starting position
- Sit down, ensuring your spine is pressed against the back of the bench and your feet are firmly planted on the floor.
- Hold a dumbbell in front of you at upper chest level.
- Place your fingers facing away from your chest, thumbs outwards and arms close to your torso.
Implementation
- Inhale, maintaining the correct starting position and lift the dumbbells above your head, twisting your wrist so that your fingers point forward.
- Exhale when your arms are fully extended above your head, then take an inhale.
- Once you have held the dumbbells overhead for a short time and your shoulder muscles are fully engaged with your exhale, slowly lower the dumbbells, turning your wrists so that your fingers are pointing towards your chest.
- Repeat the exercise a set number of times.
