I love strength training with dumbbells and this exercise combines two moves to work both your biceps and your shoulders.

Want to know how to do this move? Then read more.

  • Stand with your feet hip width apart. Pick up a set of 3 to 8 pound weights, with your palms facing in towards the sides of your legs.
  • Inhale as you bend your elbows, raising your hands towards your chest with your palms still facing in.
  • As you exhale, straighten your arms up over your head.
  • Inhale to lower your elbows back down towards your ribs.
  • The exhale, straighten your arms back down toward your legs.
  • Repeat for a total of 12-15 times. Do two sets.

Fit's Tip: If you hit 15 reps and feel like you can keep going, the next time use a heavier weight. Likewise, if you can't do more than five reps, drop down to a lighter weight.
