Main: Deltoids Supporting: Abdominal muscles
One step at a time.
- Stand tall with weights at your sides and a small bend in the elbows.
- Lift your arms out to the sides, stopping at or below shoulder height.
- Lower both arms smoothly.
The deltoids raise the arms away from the body; the abdominal muscles help steady the trunk.
