5. Dumbbell Upright Rows
  • Choose a pair of dumbbells and stand with your feet at around shoulder-width apart. Grasp the dumbbells with an overhand grip (palms facing down) and place them on your thighs.
  • While keeping your back straight, lift the dumbbells straight up in front of your chest, to just below chin level.
  • Keep them as close to your body as possible. Pause, and then slowly lower the dumbbells back down to the front of your thigh area, and repeat for desired reps.
