Instructions

  • Stand with your feet hip-width apart, knees slightly bent, and core engaged for stability.
  • Hold a dumbbell in each hand with an overhand grip (palms facing your body).
  • Start with your arms fully extended in front of your body, keeping the weights close to your thighs.
  • Slowly lift your hands towards your chest, leading with your elbows and keeping the weights close to your body. Your elbows should rise higher than your hands, but avoid lifting them above shoulder height.
  • Pause briefly at the top of the movement, ensuring your shoulders remain relaxed and not shrugged.
  • Lower the weights back to the starting position in a slow and controlled manner.
  • Complete repetitions as prescribed by your physiotherapist.
