How to do it
- Lie on a flat bench with a light dumbbell in each hand.
- Have the dumbbells over your torso with your elbows slightly bent and palms facing one another.
- Bring your shoulders back, engage your abs, and slowly move the weights to the sides of your hips as you turn your wrists to point at the ceiling.
- Take a breath and move the dumbbells to your sides in large arc motions.
- Move the weights from your hips to behind your head, where you have to pause for a moment.
- Return the dumbbells to the starting position in the same arc motion to hip level, exhaling near the end of the repetition.
- Take another breath and move the dumbbells behind your head again.
