Starting position
- Sit on a bench with your back pressed against the backrest and your legs firmly planted on the floor.
- Raise arms so that dumbbells are at head/shoulder height.
- Place your toes facing forward and your elbows in line with your wrist
Implementation
- Inhale, while maintaining the correct starting position, then raise your arms with simultaneous straightening at the elbow joints and extend the dumbbells overhead. The movement should be done in a triangle, that is, the dumbbells come down to the centre as they are overhead.
- Pause for a moment at the end of the movement, then slowly lower the dumbbells while exhaling smoothly.
- Repeat the exercise a set number of times.
