Dumbbell Shrug.

Make every rep count.

1. 01

   Stand with a dumbbell in each hand at your sides, feet about hip-width.

2. 02

   Hinge slightly at the hips to pick them up, inhale, and take a neutral grip (palms facing in). Then stand tall.

3. 03

   Set your posture: spine neutral, chest up, core braced, arms straight.

4. 04

   Shrug your shoulders straight up toward your ears by contracting your traps—don’t roll them forward or backward.

5. 05

   Pause and squeeze at the top, then lower slowly and under control back to the start.

6. 06

   Repeat for your target reps, keeping your neck relaxed and your body from swaying.
