1. Start by standing straight with your feet together. With a dumbbell in hand, raise your right arm keeping the elbow bent at eye level and pointing forward. Your other hand should be grasped under the elbow for support.

   

2. Exhale and bend arm upwards, forcing your hand with the weight towards the ceiling.

   

3. Straighten arm completely, and hold for 2-3 seconds. Inhale, and slowly lower arm back to starting position. Repeat with both arms for 10-12 reps.

   

4. Recommended reps: 10-12 per arm.
