- 2.Grasp the handles with your palms facing inwards and your arms fully extended.
- 3.Keeping your back straight, exhale and elevate your shoulders as high as possible.
- 4.Hold the contraction for a brief moment, then inhale and slowly lower your shoulders back down to the starting position.
- 5.Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
