Instructions

1. Start by sitting on a bench with back support. Hold a dumbbell in each hand at shoulder height with your elbows bent and palms facing your shoulders (this will be your starting position).

2. As you press the dumbbells upward, rotate your wrists so that your palms face forward at the top of the movement.

3. Extend your arms fully above your head without locking your elbows.

4. Pause for a moment at the top, and then reverse the motion: slowly lower the dumbbells back to shoulder height while rotating your palms back toward your shoulders.

5. Make sure to maintain a controlled movement throughout the exercise, avoiding any jerking motions.

6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Remember to keep your spine neutral and avoid arching your back. Adjust the weight according to your fitness level, ensuring that you can perform each repetition with good form.
