How to do it

Keep your weight centered over the midfoot of both feet.

  1. 1

    Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent.

  2. 2

    Hinge at the hips to lower your torso until it's almost parallel to the floor, arms hanging straight down.

  3. 3

    With a slight bend in your elbows, raise your arms out to the sides until they are in line with your body.

  4. 4

    Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement.

  5. 5

    Slowly lower your arms back to the starting position.

  6. 6

    Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Expert tip

Keep your back flat and core engaged throughout the movement to prevent any lower back strain and to ensure maximum engagement of the rear deltoids.
