Directions:

1) Stand up with your body leaning slightly forward but your back flat and your abs pulled in tight.

2) Grasp each weight over the top, palms pointing down.

3) With your right elbow bent, lift your arm back so that your arm is almost completely straight. Hold, then release your arm slowly back down.

4) Repeat for 10-12 lifts. Then exercise the other side.

5) Do two sets of 10-12 lifts, building to 3 or more sets as you feel stronger.

Variation: Increase the heaviness of weight.
