Step-by-Step Instructions
Grab a pair of dumbbells, stand tall, position your arms to your sides, and have your wrists neutral.
Bring your shoulders back and engage your abs.
Take a breath, shrug your shoulders as high as possible, and squeeze your trapezius muscle at the top. Keep your arms straight.
Exhale at the top and lower your shoulder blades to the starting position as you breathe in.
Slowly lower your shoulder blades as you breathe in.
