Make every rep count.

  1. 01

    Grab a pair of dumbbells and step into a clear space.

  2. 02

    Set your stance hip-width, soften your knees, and hinge at the hips until your torso is close to parallel with the floor. Keep a flat back, core braced, and neck neutral.

  3. 03

    Let the dumbbells hang straight under your shoulders with a neutral grip (palms facing each other).

  4. 04

    Inhale, then lift your arms out and back in a wide arc until the dumbbells are roughly in line with your shoulders. Lead with your elbows and squeeze your shoulder blades together—avoid shrugging or swinging.

  5. 05

    Exhale and lower slowly back to the hang position with control.

  6. 06

    Repeat for your target reps, keeping the same torso angle throughout.
