How to do it

  1. Stand tall with a dumbbell in each hand at your sides, palms facing your body.
  2. Keep your elbows by your sides and curl the dumbbells up toward your shoulders.
  3. Keep your palms facing in the whole time, like holding a hammer.
  4. Lower slowly back to your sides.

Beginner tip: Only your forearms move; keep your elbows still.
