Instructions
1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand with a neutral grip (palms facing in towards the body).
2. Begin with your arms hanging at your sides, and shoulders relaxed.
3. Engage your core and maintain good posture throughout the movement.
4. Lift both arms up and across your body in a diagonal movement, turning your palms to face downward as you reach the top of the movement.
5. Raise the weights smoothly until your arms are parallel to the ground, or slightly higher, making sure not to raise the weights above shoulder level to avoid excess stress on the shoulder joint.
6. Pause briefly at the top of the movement.
7. Slowly lower the weights back down along the same diagonal path to return to the starting position.
8. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
It's important to perform this exercise with control, avoiding any swinging or jerking motions. Use weights that are challenging but still allow for good form throughout the set.
