• Stand with your feet hip distance apart, arms by your sides, with a dumbbell in each hand. Engage your abs to create a stable base.
• Take a breath in and as you exhale, do reach your right arm out to the side doing a lateral side raise until your arm is parallel to the floor, keeping a slight bend in your elbow. Simultaneously, bring your left hand toward your armpit by bending your left elbow out to the side.
• Inhale to return back to the starting position.
• This counts as one rep. Complete three sets of 12 to 15 reps on each side.
