Stand tall with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand at your sides, palms facing your body.

Maintain a slight bend in your elbows and keep your core engaged.

Exhale and lift the dumbbells out to your sides in a wide arc until your arms are parallel to the floor.

Lead slightly with your elbows and keep your palms facing down or slightly forward.

Pause briefly at the top.

Inhale and slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position with control.

Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
