Description

Stand upright with a weight in each hand, arms extended down alongside your body. Raise your arms diagonally forward, as if forming a Y in front of you, until they reach approximately shoulder height. Then slowly lower them back down with control to return to the starting position. The arms should not go fully out to the sides, but slightly forward.
