This is great for developing the shoulder muscles using dumbbells. Don't use a weight that is too heavy in the beginning. You will be concentrating on good form.
Stand with back straight, knees slightly bent, and feet slightly less than shoulder-width apart
Don't swing the dumbbells.
Hold the dumbbells to your side with palms facing in. They will not rotate during this movement.
Keep the elbows slightly bent and raise the dumbbells laterally, in an arc toward the ceiling, until arms are parallel to the floor.
Hold for a moment and slowly lower the dumbbells to the starting position. Repeat.
Work to 3 sets of 8 - 12 reps.
