How to do Dumbbell Shrugs

  1. Start with your feet flat on the floor, in a standing position. Your feet should be shoulder-width apart.
  2. Grab dumbbells which you can handle. 
  3. Bend your knees slightly so that they line up with (not past) your toes. Keep your chin up, facing straight ahead, and your neck straight.
  4. While you inhale, bring your shoulders as high up toward your ears as you can. Do the movement slowly so that you feel the resistance of your muscles.
  5. Lower your shoulders back down and breathe out before repeating the movement.
