Dumbbell Shrug

How to perform

1. 1

   Stand erect with a dumbbell on each hand (palms facing your torso), arms extended on the sides.

2. 2

   Lift the dumbbells by elevating the shoulders as high as possible while you exhale. Hold the contraction at the top for a second. Tip: The arms should remain extended at all times. Refrain from using the biceps to help lift the dumbbells. Only the shoulders should be moving up and down.

3. 3

   Lower the dumbbells back to the original position.

4. 4

   Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
