Make every rep count.
- 01
Stand tall with your core braced and shoulders down and back. Hold one dumbbell at your side with a neutral grip (palm facing in). Keep a soft bend in the working elbow.
- 02
With control, lift your arm out to the side until the dumbbell reaches about shoulder height. Don’t swing—let your shoulder do the work.
- 03
Pause briefly at the top, keeping your wrist straight and shoulder relaxed (avoid shrugging).
- 04
Lower slowly back to your side to the start position.
- 05
Complete your reps, then switch arms.
