Main Muscle: Shoulders

Hold the dumbbells in front of your thighs, palms facing your thighs.
Keep your arms straight with a slight bend at the elbows but keep them locked. This will be your starting position.
Raise the dumbbells in a semicircular motion to arm's length overhead as you exhale.
Slowly return to the starting position using the same path as you inhale.
Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

Variation: You can perform this exercise with a barbell or by alternating dumbbells.
