How to do it
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in one hand with an overhand grip.
- Let the dumbbell hang at arm's length in front of your thighs, with your palm facing your body.
- Keeping your back straight and your core engaged, exhale and lift the dumbbell straight up towards your chin, leading with your elbow.
- Pause for a moment at the top, then inhale and slowly lower the dumbbell back down to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, then switch to the other arm.
