Description

Stand with a light weight in each hand, your arms extended alongside your body. Raise your arms diagonally forward to form a Y in front of you, up to about shoulder height. Then slowly lower back down, controlling the movement, to return to the starting position. Your arms should stay slightly angled forward, and not completely out to the sides.
