Description

While lying face down on a mat, extend your arms outward horizontally. Hold a set of dumbbells in both hands, keeping your arms straight. Slowly lift the dumbbells upward against the resistance of gravity, making sure to engage the muscles of your upper back and shoulders. Control the movement as you lower the dumbbells back to the starting position. Repeat for the recommended number of repetitions.
