    1. Grab a dumbbell in each hand and adopt a standing position with your arms relaxed by your sides. This will be your starting position.

    2. To initiate this movement you will need to elevate your elbows so that they are at shoulder height (allow your forearms to hang perpendicular to the floor).

    3. Once you have done this, externally rotate your shoulder joints 180 degrees, to bring your forearms upright from the floor. This will maintain the 90 degree bend at your elbows but instead of your palms facing behind you and aiming at the floor, they will be facing forward and aiming at the ceiling.

    4. Next, extend your arms upward to press the dumbbells towards the ceiling, bringing them together at the top of the movement.

    5. After a brief pause, you should reverse this movement and return the dumbbells along the same path, back into their starting position.

    6. Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
