Description:
  1. Choose a pair of dumbbells and stand up straight with your feet at around shoulder width apart.
  2. Hold the dumbbells with your arms fully extended down by your thighs in front of you body.
  3. Use an overhand grip (palms facing your body). Hold the dumbbells roughly 4 inches off of your body. This is the starting position.
