Proper Exercise Technique

Stand with feet shoulder width apart and a bend in the knees. Bend at the waist with your head up and grasp a pair of dumbbells with an overhand grip. By bending your arms, lift the dumbbells straight up until they touch your upper abdominals. Reverse the movement to lower the dumbbells but do not let them touch the floor until after your last rep.

Tip: It is very important that you do not round out your lower back as you perform this exercise as this could easily lead to an injury. Instead, focus on sticking your butt out and keeping a nice arch in your lower back. It is also okay to move naturally throughout the exercise and allow your back to rise up slightly as you lift the weight.
