How to do it

  1. Lie on your back on the floor with your knees bent, holding a dumbbell in each hand.
  2. Press the dumbbells up above your chest until your arms are straight.
  3. Lower them slowly until your upper arms lightly touch the floor.
  4. Pause for a moment, then press the dumbbells back up.

Beginner tip: Let your upper arms touch the floor gently; don't bounce them off it.
