Stand with good posture and a dumbbell in each hand, by your sides. Keeping your arms straight, raise one dumbbell forwards up to shoulder height, lower it with control. Repeat on the other side and keep alternating for the duration of the exercise.
To make this exercise easier, try it with lighter dumbbells or a small bottle of water in each hand. You can also bend your arms at the elbows slightly to make this exercise easier. Also check out our Arm Raises exercise.
To make this exercise more challenging, increase the weight of your dumbbells or perform the exercise with straighter arms or at a slower pace. Also check out our Dumbbell shoulder raise.
